Thioglycollate broth

Soybean casein digest broth shall be used for normal media runs but thioglycolate broth shall be used for the detection of anaerobic organisms, especially when a filtered nitrogen purge is used to ensure anaerobic conditions. 

Before incubation of the vials, powder should be reconstituted with adapted media (TSB or thioglycolate broth) using aseptic technique under laminar flow. The reconstitution volume is according to the volume described in the original formula. Strict environmental monitoring should be followed through this step.

Remove duplicate 1 ml aliquots into a) thioglycollate broth, and b) Saboraud s liquid medium (Appendix 4). 

The next step is to gently rub the ulcer with a sterile calcium alginate swab moistened with thioglycolate broth or trypticase soy broth and inoculate three rows of C on each of the blood, chocolate, and Sabouraud s plates. This swab is placed in a tube of thioglycolate broth medium to isolate anaerobes. A freshly moistened swab should then be rubbed across the corneal ulcer and used... 

Luminometer 3550i and Filtravette (New Horizons Diagnostics Corp., USA) were used for bioluminescent measurement. ATP-reagent (based on soluble Luciola mingrelica firefly luciferase) was developed in our laboratory. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was from Reakhim (Russia). Nutrition broth (NB) from ICN, Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) from Difco and Thioglycolate broth (TB) from Merck were used. Ultrapure deionized water was obtained on Milli-Q (Millipore). Broth culture of Escherichia coli LE392 was used in model experiments. 

Thioglycolate broth 3% thioglycolate broth (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) in sterile glass-distilled water. The bottle is placed in a boiling water bath to ensure complete dissolution of the powder. Autoclave the solution at 15 psi, 121°C for 15 min. Store at room temperature and use within 1 d. 

MCP-l-deficient mice have normal lifespans, have no apparent developmental abnormalities, are healthy when raised in specific pathogen-free environments, and have normal hematological profiles. Nonetheless, these mice display abnormal phenotypes when subjected to inflammatory or immunological challenge. For example, wild-type mice respond to intraperitoneal instillation of thioglycollate broth with a significant...

The processed pouches were subjected to sterility test as per (Indian Standard Institute 2168, Specification for Pomfret canned in oil. New Delhi, India). Commercial sterility is ensured so that there is no growth of microorganisms after thermal processing. Four pouches were incubated at 55°C for 4 days and another four were incubated at 37°C for 14 days before conducting the tests. The incubated pouches were aseeptieally opened and 1-2 g of the samples were taken with a sterilized forceps and inoeulated into the sterilized fluid thioglycolate broth in test tubes. In order to ereate anaerobie condition, a little sterilized liquid paraffin wax was put on the top of the broth and kept for incubation. The absence of any turbidity was observed after incubation, which indicated that the pouches were sterile.
