AC medium is a good primary isolation medium possessing unique growth promoting properties for both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. It is recommended as a general culture medium for anaerobes, microaerophiles and aerobes. The medium contains an agar flux that retards air diffusion and when sealed in snap-cap tubes immediately after autoclaving, it maintains an oxygen gradient ranging from anaerobic at the bottom to aerobic at the top. Techniques :... Within 24 hours after inoculation, anaerobic organisms will be growing near the bottom, microaerophiles near the center, and aerobic organisms near the top Facultative organisms will grow throughout the tube. The composition is the following : beef extract(3 g), yeast extract(3 g), malt extract(3 g), proteose peptone No. 3(Difco)(20 g). dextrose(5 g), agar(1 g), ascorbic acid(0. 2 g), distilled water(1 liter)...

CONT

AC medium. General growth medium. [Composition:] peptone, beef extract, yeast extract, malt extract, dextrose, ascorbic acid, 0.1% agar, pH 7.2. AC broth does not have agar.

OBS

One should keep in mind that a "culture medium" can be either liquid (broth) or solid (agar- or gelatin-based) or semi-solid. If the AC medium contains agar for solidification, it would be called an "AC agar." The equivalent liquid medium or broth (medium without agar) would be called an "AC broth."

OBS

all culture medium: For clarity, this term would be better hyphenated (all-culture medium).

OBS

AC medium: It can be confused with other culture media such as Acriflavin-Ceftazidim medium.

OBS

AC media; AC mediums; A. C. media; A. C. mediums; all-culture media; all-culture mediums: plural.

OBS

C'est un milieu de culture microbiologique d'utilisation générale (non sélectif) servant à cultiver une large gamme de micro-organismes (bactéries aérobies, anaérobies ou micro-aérophiles). Il est empirique (on ne connaît pas sa composition avec précision puisqu'il n'est pas purement synthétique). Celui qui est fabriqué par les laboratoires Sigma-Aldrich contient des peptones, des extraits de bœuf, de levure et de malt, ainsi que du dextrose, de l'acide ascorbique et de l'eau distillée. Tous ces ingrédients offrent un milieu favorable à la prolifération de diverses bactéries.

OBS

milieu AC : L'abréviation anglaise «AC» dans ces termes signifie «all culture», c'est-à-dire «toutes cultures». Ne pas confondre avec d'autres milieux de culture, car les lettres «AC» pourraient signifier, par exemple, un milieu contenant de l'acriflavine et de la ceftazidime.

OBS

Un «milieu» de culture bactérienne peut être solide (appelé «gélose») ou liquide (appelé «bouillon»). Lorsque le milieu en question est à base d'agar, donc solide, il serait préférable d'indiquer «gélose». On pourrait alors parler de «gélose toutes cultures». Dans le cas du milieu de culture liquide (bouillon) équivalent (milieu sans agar), on pourrait parler de «bouillon toutes cultures».

OBS

Il convient de rappeler qu'il n'existe pas de milieu de culture universel et que certaines bactéries ne peuvent croître sur les milieux gélosés peptonés conventionnels (Bianchi et Bianchi, 1972).

OBS

milieu AC : terme tiré d'un catalogue de compagnie canadienne d'équipement de laboratoire.

  • Soccer (Europe: Football)
DEF

In general, any player whose assigned position is the left or right instead of the center. But more specifically, refers to players whose job is to come into the attack by bringing the ball up the side line(i. e., the wings) and to send good crossing passes into the center.

CONT

Pure "wingers" aren’t used today as much as they used to be. "Wingers" used to be the wide forwards or midfielders (who were sometimes called "withdrawn wingers"). Wing midfielders are sometimes called "winghalfs" or "wingmids" & wing fullbacks are "wingbacks." Today, it is more common to use wingmids or wingbacks to come up to cross the ball than to have wing forwards. "Wingers" who bring the ball up the side are often very fast and excellent dribblers.

CONT

Williams is a speedy flank player who will provide service for the forwards.

OBS

winger; wing: There should be a distinction between "wing," the position, and "winger," the player, but most sources consider these terms synonyms to mean the player.

Column chromatography. ... the first step in this process ... is to prepare a solution of the substances to the separated. This solution is then poured into the top of a column filled with finely divided material that can absorb differentially the substances to be separated. ... After the solution has moved down the column, the chromatogram is developed by elution, that is, by passing pure solvent down the column.

OBS

There are two general types of chromatographic techniques :"packed columns" which contain a granular adsorbent or a granular support material coated with a thin layer of high-boiling solvent(partitioning liquid) and "open-tubular columns" which contain a thin film of partitioning liquid on the column walls. An opening through the center of the column allows the passage of gas.
