Grateloupia filicina (J.V. Lamouroux) C. Agardh (Halymeniaceae, Cryptonemiales, Rhodophyta) is an edible seaweed as well as an important source of carrageenan. In the present study, attempt has been made to develop a suitable protocol for effective regeneration of the seaweed and the rapid multiplication of the desired varieties. The young upright thallus of G. filicina was grown in axenic culture using both solid and liquid media. The various media tested were f/2, Provasoli’s Enriched Seawater (PES) and Enriched Seawater (ESW). The effect of glycerol (as a carbon source) and various plant growth regulators i.e. auxin (NAA) and cytokinins (Kinetin and BA) were tested. Although, regeneration of young thalli was observed from the cut ends in all the media, better growth was found in f/2, PES, f/2 (0.5% Glycerol), f/2 (NAA ${10^{-5}}_M)\;and\;f/2\;(BA\;{10^{-6}}_M$). On the other hand callusing was observed only in solid media supplemented with low concentration of Glycerol (0.5%) in f/2, NAA ${10^{-5}}_M\;in\;f/2,\;PES\;and\;BA\;{10^{-5}}_M$ in f/2. Young thalli were developed from the callus sub culture after 40 days of inoculation.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether vitrification in the cryopreservation of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells could be useful for tooth banking. Methods: In step 1, primary cultured human PDL cells were cryopreserved in 100% conventional cryopreservation media and 100% vitrification media (ESF40 media) in different temperatures for 2 weeks. In step 2, a series of modified vitrification formulae named T1 (75% vitrification media + 25% F-media), T2 (50% vitrification media + 50% F-media) and T3 (25% vitrification media + 75% F-media) were used to store PDL cells for 2 weeks and 4 weeks in liquid nitrogen. MTT assay was performed to examine the viability of PDL cells. Results: Maximum cell viability was achieved in cells stored in 100% conventional cryopreservation media at $-196^{\circ}C$ (positive control group) in step 1. Compared to the positive control group, viability of the cells stored in 100% vitrification media was very low as 10% in all test conditions. In step 2, as the percentage of vitrification media decreased, the cell viability increased in cells stored for 2 weeks. In 4-week storage of cells in step 2, higher cell viability was observed in the T2 group than the other vitrification formulae while the positive control group had the highest viability. There was no statistically significant difference in the cell viability of 2-week and 4-week stored cells in the T2 group. Conclusions: These observations indicate 100% vitrification media is not successful in PDL cell cryopreservation. Conventional cryopreservation media is currently the most appropriate media type for this purpose while T2 media would be interesting to test for long-term storage of PDL cells.

The effect of P. agarici and P. tolaasii causing the bacterial disease of mushrooms on the mycelial growth and fruitbody formation of F. velutipes was evaluated in laboratory. When the pathogenic bacteria was inoculated simultaneously with F. velutipes or 5 days after inoculation of F. velutipes, they significantly deterred both mycelial growth and fruitbody formation of F. velutipes in sawdust culture and showed strong inhibition under high population density. They appeared to be tender or milky in exhibiting symptom on F. velutipes by inoculating the concentration of $10^2{\sim}10^6$ of unit/g media, and their growth seemed to be stopped under $10^8\;cfu/g$ media. On $10^2\;cfu/g$ media of P. agarici and $10^4\;cfu/g$ media of P. tolaasii, there was no effect on the fruitbody yield of F. velutipes. P. tolaasii was more suppressive in the mycelial growth of F. velutipes than P. agarici, while on fruitbodies formation of F. velutipes, P. agarici showed slightly higher inhibition than that of P. tolaasii. When the bacteria was inoculated 10 days after inoculation of F. velutipes, both mycelial growth and fruit body formation were not affected nearly.

Objective : The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of three different media on preimplatation embryo development and the expression of Bcl-2, Mcl-1, Bax, and Bok in mouse. Materials and Methods: Two-cell embryos were retrieved from ICR female mice (4 weeks old) at 48 hr after hCG injection and cultured in Ham's F-10, HTF, and G1.2 media. The developmental rate of 2-cell embryos was evaluated from 24 hr to 72 hr after culture. RT-PCR was performed for the detection of Bcl-2, Mcl-1, Bax, and Bok gene expression. Results: The rates of morula and blastocyst in HTF and G1.2 media (88%, 98.1%) were significantly higher than those in Ham's F-10 media (39.6%) at 48 hr. Likewise, the rates of hatching and hatched blastocyst in HTF and G1.2 media (21.9%, 52.9%) were higher than those in Ham's F-10 media (3.5%) at 72 hr. Bcl-2 and Bax mRNAs were highly detected in embryos cultured in Ham's F-10 when compared in embryos cultured in HTF and G1.2. In contrast, the expression of Mcl-1 and Bok was not significantly different. Conclusion: These results show that HTF and G1.2 culture media increase the rate of blastocyst formation and stimulate Bcl-2 and Bax gene expression in mouse preimplantation embryos.

360 video is attracting attention as immersive media with the spread of VR applications, and MPEG-I (Immersive) Visual group is actively working on standardization to support immersive media experiences with up to six degree of freedom (6DoF). In virtual space of omnidirectional 6DoF, which is defined as a case of degree of freedom providing 6DoF in a restricted area, looking at the scene at any viewpoint of any position in the space requires rendering the view by synthesizing additional viewpoints called virtual omnidirectional viewpoints. This paper presents the performance results on view synthesis and their analysis, which have been done as exploration experiments (EEs) of omnidirectional 6DoF in MPEG-I. In other words, experiment results on view synthesis in various aspects of synthesis conditions such as the distances between input views and virtual view to be synthesized and the number of input views to be selected from the given set of 360 videos providing omnidirectional 6DoF are presented.

Reactive oxygen species are produced under diabetic conditions and possibly cause various forms of tissue damage in patients with diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of high glucose on the alloxan-induced beta cell injury. The insulinoma (RINm5F) cells were clutured either with high glucose (22.2 mM) or normoglucose (5.6 mM) in RPMI 1460 media for 3 days. The SOD activities were determined by spectrophotometric assay and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) stain. The effects of high glucose on the cytotoxicity of alloxan were also investigated in RINm5F cells and the cells viability were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) methods. Results showed that the CuZn-SOD activity was decreased but Mn-SOD activity was increased significantly in RINm5F cells cultured with high glucose (22.2 mM) media. The cytotoxicity of alloxan was increased by high glucose compared with normoglucose in RINm5F cells. Diethyl-dithiocarbarmate (DDC), as inhibitor of CuZn-SOC, also potentiate the alloxan-induced cytotoxocity in RINm5F cells. These results suggest that, in RINm5F cells, short term culture with high glucose media decreases Cu-Zn-SOD activity and the decreased activity of CuZn-SOD many one of the causative factors of beta-cell injury induced by high glucose.

It was observed that the effect of Grand E.C, on the growth of Fusarium oxysporium f. cucumerinum mycellia, which was cultured in the media with different nitrogen and carton sources, varied with it's concentrations. (1) Mycellia of F. oxysporium f. cucumerinum were grown strongly in $(NH_4)_2HPO_4\;NH_4NO_3$ and fructose media. (2) In general, the diluted Grand E.C, $ (\times\;1,000)$ effected on check of fungal growth in any type of media with the different nitrogen and carbon sources. It was disturbed the growth of fungi in $NH_4NO_3$, lactose and fructose in the diluted fungicide $(\times\;5,000)$. In the diluted solution $(\times\;10,000)$ of fungicide, somewhat increased the viability of fungi, but it was disturbed the growth in $NH_4NO_3$ and fructose media. (3) In conclusion, it was thought to be that the diluted Grand emulsion effected in check of the growth of F. oxysporium f. cucumerinum which grown some nutritional conditions.

This study was carried out to investigate the physiological charateristics of F. pinicola in sawdust media. The optimum temperature in sawdust media was $30^{\circ}C$ in of F. pinicola. The optimum pH was 5 in F. pinicola. Mycelial growth and density of F. pinicola was quite good when birch tree and oak sawdust, respectively were used as cultural substrates. The best mycelial growth in F. pinicola was observed when beer waste was added as supplement on sawdust substrates. The optimum supplement ratios of beer waste and a magnecium sulfate were 20%, and 0.1% respectively. However, optimun supplement ratios of a calcium oxide and a LVD were different as 0.1% in F. pinicola.

Growth rates, photosystem II photosynthesis, and the levels of chlorophyll $\alpha$ and secondary metabolites of Chlorella ovalis were estimated to determine if they were enhanced by the addition of swine urine (BM) or cow compost water (EP) that had been fermented by soil bacteria to deep seawater (DSW) in an attempt to develop media that enabled batch mass culture at lower costs. Growth of C. ovalis in f/2, f/2-EDTA+BM60%, DSW+BM30%, and DSW+EP60% was enhanced and maintained in the log phase of growth for 16 days. The cell densities of C. ovalis in DSW+EP60% ($4.1{\times}10^6$ Cells/ml) were higher than those of f/2 ($2.9{\times}10^6$ Cells/ml), f/2-E+BM60% ($3.7{\times}10^6$ Cells/ml), and DSW+BM30% ($2.7{\times}10^6$ Cells/ml). The growth rate was also more favorable for C. ovalis cultured in DSW+EP60% ($0.15\;day^{-1}$) than that of C. ovalis cultured in the control medium (f/2) ($0.12\;day^{-1}$). Furthermore, the chlorophyll a concentration of C. ovalis cultured in DSW+EP60% (4.56 mg/l) was more than 2-fold greater than that of C. ovalis cultured in f/2 (2.35 mg/l). Moreover, the maximal quantum yields of photo system II at 470 nm (Fv/Fm) were significantly higher in organisms cultured at f/2-E+BM60% (0.53) and DSW+EP60% (0.52) than in the other treatment groups. Finally, Fourier transformation infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy revealed that C. ovalis grown in DSW+EP60% had more typical peaks and various biochemical pool shifts than those grown in other types of media. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that the use of DSW+EP60% to culture C. ovalis can reduce maintenance expenses and promote higher yields.
