The researchers tested the approach in controlled cultures with different combinations of bacteria present, and were able to eliminate only the targeted strain. (sciencedaily.com)
To resolve the randomness of mutations in different environments, M&F used tightly controlled cultures of a bacterium whose growth was limited by each of the most important essential elements for life (i.e. hunger for carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and iron). (sciencedaily.com)
Diabetic myotubes expressed a reduced basal glucose uptake compared with control cultures when precultured at equal low - insulin concentrations, and the increase in fractional velocity of GS was reduced after acute insulin stimulation at identical glucose uptake rates in diabetic cultures precultured at low insulin concentrations.
