Effect Of Cell-Conditioned Media On Biomass Production Of Leishmania Parasites, Melahat Bagirova, Rabi̇a Çakir Koç, Adi̇l Allahverdi̇yev, Meli̇ke Ersöz
Turkish Journal of Biology
A large amount of parasite biomass production necessitates a higher volume of culture media, and this further increases the overall cost. For this reason, novel and alternative culture supplementary materials have been continuously investigated. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effect of cell-conditioned media, collected as waste material during routine cell culture, on the growth and development of Leishmania parasites in vitro. In this study, for the first time, we show that cell-conditioned medium obtained from MCF-7 culture increased the growth of Leishmania parasites in vitro. These results show that the metabolites that are present in …

Larval Growth And Survival Of Penaeus Indicus(Decapoda: Penaeidae) On Live Feeds, Metin Kumlu
Turkish Journal of Biology
This study was conducted to compare the suitability of three microalgal species (Tetraselmis chuii, Skeletonema costatum and Rhinomonas reticulata), both individually and in combination, as food for Penaeus indicus during larval culture. To determine the best feeding density, each alga was fed to protozoea 1 (PZI) larvae from 10 to 80 cells mL -1 . The best algal-cell density, promoting the highest survival rate, greatest growth and fastest larval development, was obtained at 60-70 cells mL -1 with a combination of T. chuii and S. costatum. Low cell densities (10-20 cells mL -1 ) were not effective. The diatom S. …
