The aim of this study was to observe the pigment production of C.neoformans in a new medium based on eggplant (Solanum melongena) and also to compare its performance with the simplified Staib, Pal's and tobacco agar for isolation from the environment.

Guizotia abysinicca (Niger seed) as Staib agar, Helianthus annus (Sunflower) as Pal's medium, Brassica nigra (Mustard) agar, tobacco agar, Mucuna pruriens (Velvet bean) seed agar, Perilla frutescens (Beefsteak plant) seed agar, Rubus fruticosus (Blackberry) agar and ground red hot pepper agar are pigment-based selective media for the differentiation of C.neoformans. Seeds of plants in nature are preferred owing to easy accessibility and low costs for the preparation of such media. Brown pigmented yeast growth from the precursors in growth media is an important step for the identification and isolation of C.neoformans. Avian guano, decaying tree hollows and soil are the related known environmental niches. C.neoformans infection is believed to be acquired via inhalation of aerosolized particles from the environment. Sengul, Mustafa Ergin, CaÄŸrı Kartal, TuÄŸbaĬryptococcus neofomans is an encapsulated yeast-like fungus that causes life-threatening infections, especially in immunosuppresive patients. The study demonstrated that reactions occurring on chocolate agar are useful in identifying gram-positive cocci. Yellowing of chocolate agar was associated with alpha-hemolytic species of Streptococcus. Darkening and clearing of the medium was usually associated with the species Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus simulans, and Streptococcus faecalis. Reactions incurred on chocolate agar by gram-positive cocci were correlated with species identity. In addition, the CARA can predict if replicating actives are bactericidal or bacteriostatic.Ĭhocolate agar, a differential medium for gram-positive cocci. Pilot experiments using the CARA facilitate the identification of which concentration of test agent and time of compound exposure require further evaluation by colony forming unit (CFU) assays. The CARA helps determine whether a molecule is active on bacilli that are replicating, non-replicating, or both. The CARA detects approximately a 2-3 log10 difference in bacterial numbers and predicts a minimal bactericidal concentration leading to ≥99% bacterial kill (MBC≥99). After a 7-10 day incubation period at 37 Â☌, the reduction of resazurin by mycobacterial microcolonies growing on the surface of CARA microplate wells permits semi-quantitative assessment of bacterial numbers via fluorometry. Inclusion of activated charcoal in bacteriologic agar medium helps mitigate the impact of compound carry-over, and eliminates the requirement to pre-dilute cells prior to spotting on CARA microplates. The charcoal agar resazurin assay (CARA) was developed as a tool to characterize active molecules discovered by high-throughput screening campaigns against replicating and non-replicating M. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of TB, is refractory to rapid and lasting chemotherapy due to the presence of bacilli exhibiting phenotypic drug resistance. There is an urgent need to discover and progress anti-infectives that shorten the duration of tuberculosis (TB) treatment.

A new semi-defined agar medium (SDM) was developed which gave consistently high viable cell counts of various G. They are fastidious in their vitamin and amino acid requirements. Geobacillus species have potential applications in many biotechnological processes.
