Abstract Growth and biological conditions of Messastrum gracile were evaluated to compare the effect of photoautotrophic and mixotrophic cultivation on the increase of biomass production and chemical conditions cultured in macrophyte and commercial culture media. The growth rate (k) of M. gracile was different in the culture media, higher in mixotrophic cultivation for Lemna minor culture medium, whilst to Eichhornia crassipes and NPK culture media were higher in photoautotrophic cultivation. Mean lipid contents in photoautotrophic cultivation were 8.2% biomass dry weight, whereas they reached 19% biomass dry weight in mixotrophic cultivation. Protein contents were below 48% biomass dry weight in photoautotrophic cultivation and 30% biomass dry weight in mixotrophic cultivation. Messastrum gracile cultured in macrophyte culture media (E. crassipes and L. minor) and NPK culture medium provided satisfactory results with regard to lipid and protein contents in mixotrophic and photoautotrophic cultivations, respectively. Lipid and protein contents in alternative media were higher or similar to the CHU12 commercial culture medium.

The effect of different concentrations (10, 20, 30 and 40%) of urban secondary sewage on the growth of Tetraselmis chuii (Prasinophyceae) and Dunaliella viridis (Chlorophyceae) was examined to verify the possibility of its use as an alternative culture medium for these species. Stocks and 700mL duplicate batch cultures were maintained under controlled laboratory conditions. 30% and 40% additions were the most efficient for the growth of both species. Statistical analysis of the adjusted growth (cell.mL-1) and biomass (µg chlorophyll-a.mL-1) curves performed using the Chi-square test (p<0.05) demonstrated significant differences between the nutritive medium f/2 and the 40% addition used for these two species. The results suggested that some of the concentrations tested here yielded satisfactory cell densities and growth rates when compared with other culture media (macroalgae, bovine and chicken manure extracts). Thus it could be used by semi intensive aquaculture systems.

Abstract Background Although most bloodstream yeast infections are caused by Candida spp., infections by rare or less common species have increased in recent years. Diagnosis of infections caused by these species is difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms and adequate diagnostic tools. Cases presentation We describe two cases of fungemia by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa within a few months of each other, in a secondary Spanish hospital. In both cases, diagnosis was challenging. Blood subcultures in conventional fungal media were persistently negatives and the use of non-conventional fungal media was essential for isolating the yeasts and achieving a correct diagnosis. 1–3 beta-d-glucan detection and a panfungal PCR assay were helpful techniques to confirm the diagnosis Conclusion It is highly important to establish an early diagnosis for fungemia. The process is challenging because often non-specific symptoms are presents. When yeasts grow in blood cultures other genera than Candida spp. could be the cause of infection. Patient risk factors should be assessed to incorporate alternative culture media and the available rapid diagnostic test, in order to provide an early recognition of the pathogen.

<p>El uso indiscriminado de fertilizantes químicos y su proceso de obtención y aplicación ha incrementado los costos de producción agrícola y los problemas ambientales debido a la contaminación del aire, el suelo y las aguas. Se ha planteado como alternativa la aplicación de fertilizantes biológicos como una herramienta económica y limpia para el manejo sostenible de los ecosistemas. Sin embargo, en los procesos de escalamiento de un biofertilizante pueden incrementarse los costos de producción debido al tipo de formulación y a los medios de cultivo empleados para la multiplicación de las bacterias. Esta investigación, con base en el uso secuencial de diseños estadísticos, presenta la estandarización de un medio de cultivo económico para la multiplicación de la cepa C50 de <em>Rhizobium </em>sp. De ocho fuentes nutricionales se seleccionaron cinco, teniendo como criterios los menores costos económicos y la disponibilidad de dichas fuentes; de estas cinco, tres influyeron significativamente sobre el desarrollo de la cepa. La composición optimizada del medio alterno incluyó glicerol, melaza, glutamato, extracto de levadura y sales. No se presentaron diferencias significativas en el crecimiento de la cepa C50 en el medio alterno comparado con el tradicional (levadura-manitol), ni en la viabilidad de la cepa crecida en el medio tradicional respecto al alterno, cuando se inoculó sobre turba. El inoculante conservó su calidad en refrigeración durante 30 días. Las cepas J01, T14 y C2 mostraron buen índice de crecimiento sobre el medio alterno; no se presentaron diferencias significativas en los recuentos entre las cepas J01 y T14, mientras que la cepa C2 creció mejor en el medio alterno.  </p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Standardization of a complex culture media for multiplication of C50 <em>Rhizobium </em>sp. strain</strong> </p>The indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers, its process of production and its application had increased the costs of agricultural production and the environmental problems because of the pollution of air, soil and water sources. The alternative is the use of biological fertilizers as an economical and clean tool in order to sustainable management of ecosystems. However, in the escalation processes of a biofertilizer the costs of production could increase due to the type of formulation and the culture media used for the multiplication of the bacteria. This research, by using statistical designs sequentially, presents the standardization of an economical culture media used to multiply the strain C50 of <em>Rhizobium </em>sp. From eight nutritional sources, five were selected taking as criteria the low economical costs and the availability of above mentioned nutritional sources; from these five sources, three of them influenced the development of the strain significantly. The optimized composition of the alternative culture media included glycerol, molasses, glutamate, yeast extract and salts. There were no significantly differences in the growth of the strain C50 in the alternative culture media compared with the traditional one (yeast extract – mannitol); nor in viability of the strain growth on traditional media culture compared with the alternative one, when it was inoculated on peat. The inoculants conserved its quality in refrigeration during 30 days. The strains J01, T14 and C2 showed a better rate of growth on the alternative culture media; it was not show significant differences in the counts between the strains J01 and T14; whereas, the strain C2 growth better in the alternative culture media.
