I'm looking for a possibility to avoid the flocculation of Pseudomonas putida in shaking flasks. I already tried adding tween 80 (50=B5l per liter). No improvement could be ascertained. At the moment I'm using a complex medium (Peptone and Meat-Extract), soon I will use different minimal media. What influences the flocculation? Thank you in advance. --- ------------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to the group as well as to the originator, make sure that the address biofilms@net.bio.net is included in the "To:" field.

It is not necessarily a standard name. So what it means is something you need to check with your own relevant sources. Google on congo red agar gives the following item: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=3934141&dopt=Abstract That link is to the abstract, and the paper itself is freely available from there. But you will need to decide whether their congo red agar plates are what you want. If you need to, explore the google search more. One good source of media info is the oxoid manual, at www.oxoid.com. Your medium is not listed, unless I mistyped something. > >also, i'd appreciate it if someone could send me the following paper: > >Freeman DJ,Falkiner FR,Keane CT.

If you don't know anyone with good access to the print journal, suggest you email the authors. bob ------------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to the group as well as to the originator, make sure that the address biofilms@net.bio.net is included in the "To:" field.

I don't know anyone who will be ready to do this favour... and the author's email (or even airmail address) is not there in the abstract. This paper has been cited at many other places for a method for making congo red agar plates. I hope I find someone who has access to the hardcopy of this article~! --- ------------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to the group as well as to the originator, make sure that the address biofilms@net.bio.net is included in the "To:" field.

This is often (though not always) resolvable, but it takes a little effort. Worth learning how, because sometimes it is important to you. The abstract may contain an email address. For one this old, maybe it does not. But it should tell you where the authors are -- or at least where they were at that time. Find the web site for their institution, and look for info about them; this will often reveal an email address. Of course, maybe they have moved. So look for more recent papers by them. Use whatever resources seem appropriate, but looking for more recent papers in PubMed is one approach. If the paper has multiple authors, you may want to try to track down more than one. Top priority is to find the one listed as the corresponding author, but sometimes one of the other authors is easier to find. Most authors try to be helpful; after all, they like that people want to read their articles. When emailing an author, it is nice to briefly state why you are interested in the paper, and to give your scientific (institutional) affiliation, if relevant. Briefly -- a sentence or two. It makes them feel good -- and also makes them aware that your interest is serious enough that they should take the time to reply. bob ------------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to the group as well as to the originator, make sure that the address biofilms@net.bio.net is included in the "To:" field.
