Abstract
ABSTRACT We tested a new two-phase culture medium for culturing microorganisms, in particular algae and fungi. In media composed of mixed gel and solid phases of granite, basalt, sandstone, limestone and sodium glass, we observed the growth of selected species inhabiting the boundaries of the gel medium with the solid phase. The species used were Klebsormidium dissectum (F.Gay) H.Ettl & Gärtner, Vischeria polyphem (Pitschmann) Kryvenda, Rybalka, Wolf & Friedl and Muriella decolor Vischer (algae); and Aspergillus tubingensis R.Mosseray, Aureobasidium pullulans (de Bary) G.Arnaud, Chaetomium globosum Kunze and Penicillium sp. Link (fungi). In the six-weeks period of parallel cultures, the growth rate of the algae inoculum in two-phase media was twice that observed in the control culture (gel medium). The algae also maintained high viability in the new medium.
期刊介绍:
Cryptogamie is a fast-track and peer-reviewed journal of international scope publishing in English only. It accepts original papers and review articles on the taxonomy, biology and ecology of all cryptogams. An issue of Cryptogamie may be devoted to a single topic, under the responsibility of guest editor(s). All articles published in Cryptogamie are compliant with the different nomenclatural codes. A copyright assignment will be signed by the authors before publication.
Cryptogamie, Algologie accepts articles on systematics as well as ecology and evolution of any kind of algae (including Cyanobacteria).
