Keeping the Culture

Major changes in the safety department could also upset the safety culture or halt the change process entirely if the department is influential enough. Bearing in mind

For adherent cells, keep the culture dish on a bed of ice during cell harvest and aspirate media from dish. For suspension cells, spin the cells at 1700 rpm for 5 min. 

A perfusion microbioreactor has been developed based on mass transport simulation to find out reasonable culture scales with relatively low chemical gradients [10]. Here a PDMS surface is treated with surfactant solution to reduce nonspecific serum protein adsorption, which keeps the culture conditions steady. As described above, to achieve physiologically meaningful functions in vitro, a culture with a larger number of cells and higher density must be obtained. 

In a high-reliability organization, safety is the most important goal. Leaders of HROs continually anticipate the future, asking what adaptations are taking place and why. This kind of leadership focus keeps the culture nimble and underscores the concept of safety as a dynamic, energizing, adaptive process. 

The main tank fermentation process is carried out as a fed batch process, since this mode of operation is ideal for many microbial processes. The feed substrate is in most cases the carbon source, which is added continuously during the entire batch. This allows the process engineer to control the growth rate of the organism and thus to keep the culture at its optimal conditions for product... 

Keep the culture going until viability is lost (after 40 days). 

By day 14 of differentiation, MYH6 levels should already be elevated and should be visible as a fluorescent signal when using a reporter cell line. We however keep the cultures for 4 more days to allow a further increase of the MYH6 signal, which results in an improved dynamic range for quantification. 

Maintenance of conditions ia the culture environment that keep stress to a minimum is one of the best methods of a voiding diseases. Vacciaes have beea developed agaiast several diseases and more are under development. Selective breeding of animals with disease resistance has met with only limited success. Good sanitation and disiafection of contaminated faciUties are important avoidance and control measure. Some disiafectants are Hsted ia Table 6. Poad soils can be sterilized with burnt lime (CaO), hydrated lime [Ca(OH)2], or chlorine compounds (12). 

Submerged-Culture Generators. Adaptation of the surface-film growth procedure for producing antibiotics to an aerated submerged-culture process has been successful in making vinegar. A mechanical system keeps the bacteria in suspension in the Hquid in the tank, in intimate contact with fine bubbles of air. The excess heat must be removed and the foam, which accumulates at the top of the tank, must be destroyed. 

The performance of human beings is profoundly influenced by the culture of the organization (see discussion of the right stuff above). Unit/plant/company cultures vary in the degree of decision making by an individual operator. Cultures vary in their approach to the conflict between shutdown for safety versus keep it running at all costs. Personnel in one plant reportedly asked Is it our plant policy to follow the company safety policy In an organization with an inherently safer culture, people would say, "Our plant policy is to follow the company safety policies and standards ... 

II. Chemostat In a chemostat, the medium is delivered at a constant rate, to keep constant growth rate. The nutrient medium is supplied to the culture vessel at a constant rate by a peristaltic pump used to control the washout rate. The rate of media flow is often set at approximately 20% of culture volume per day. Air is pumped into the algal culture vessel through an air compressor controlled by a flow meter and carried in two flasks of sterile water. This bubbling air has three effects (i) it supplies C02 and 02 to the culture, (ii) allows circulation and agitation of the cultures and (iii)... 

While it is always possible to make a sour dough by leaving some flour and water to acquire suitable micro-organisms a working sour dough bakery would keep its own culture going by holding back a portion of the culture. 

The hygienic quality of the raw material used for the manufacture of sausage is an important factor relating to the production of biogenic amines. High-quality meats with low initial bacterial counts help keep the biogenic amines well below the toxic level (Shalaby 1995 Bover-Cid et al., 2000) and should be used with the addition of a non-amine-producing starter culture.
