Abstract

Freshwater planarians are a powerful model organism for the study of animal regeneration, stem cell maintenance and differentiation, and the development and functions of several highly conserved complex tissues. At the same time, planarians are easy to maintain, inexpensive to propagate, and reasonably macroscopic (1 mm to 1 cm in length), making them excellent organisms to use in both complex academic research and hands-on teaching laboratories. Here, we provide a detailed description of how to maintain and propagate these incredibly versatile animals in any basic laboratory setting. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

淡水涡虫的实验室维护和繁殖
淡水涡虫是研究动物再生、干细胞维持和分化以及一些高度保守的复杂组织的发育和功能的强有力的模式生物。同时,涡虫易于饲养,繁殖成本低廉,并且相当宏观(长度为1毫米至1厘米),使它们成为复杂学术研究和动手教学实验室的优秀生物。在这里,我们提供了如何在任何基本的实验室环境中维持和繁殖这些令人难以置信的多功能动物的详细描述。©2020 Wiley期刊有限公司基本方案1:盐溶液制备基本方案2:清洁涡虫外壳基本方案3:食物制备基本方案4:喂养涡虫基本方案5:菌落的扩展和扩增

期刊介绍: Current Protocols in Microbiology provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for analyzing bacteria, animal and plant viruses, fungi, protozoans and other microbes. It offers updated coverage of emerging technologies and concepts, such as biofilms, quorum sensing and quantitative PCR, as well as proteomic and genomic methods. It is the first comprehensive source of high-quality microbiology protocols that reflects and incorporates the new mandates and capabilities of this robust and rapidly evolving discipline.
