Dr. Bloch collaborated with scientists at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in North Carolina to test the oils on human breast cells grown in test tubes.
Dr. Johe said such cells, which can be grown in test tubes, might one day be implanted into the brain to rewire broken circuits.
The parent mycelium of P. herpotrichoides was grown in test tubes and was stored on a slant potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium, which conforms to the culture media used for cultivation of P. herpotrichoides [3].
The site features a sterile tissue culture lab where plants are sliced up and multiplied, a purple-lit cloning room where weed grows in test tubes out of agar jelly, a $4,000 Futurola grinder capable of shredding three pounds of flower in two seconds, and a 26,000-square-foot Dutch-designed warehouse that will soon be home to 25,000 plants.
b Isolate unable to grow in test medium for PZA susceptibility testing.
For each biological replicate, eight plants were individually grown in test tubes and treated with NPs or other stressors before RNA extraction.
Strains for PCR and sequencing (Additional file 2: Table S2) were grown in test tubes with Vogel's minimal medium with 1.5% sucrose [ 60] and DNA was extracted as in Karlsson et al.[ 15].
For rice grown in test conditions conducive to the presence of organic forms of arsenic, the bioavailability was only about 33%, whereas the store-bought standard rice laden with inorganic arsenic had a bioavailability of 89% [ 11].
In the second round, mutants from the sub-library were grown in test-tubes to repeat the sensitivity assays, and 322 sensitive deletions were obtained (Additional file 1: Table S1).
When Geron showed in early 1998 that telomerase could expand the life of cells growing in a test tube beyond their normal limits, it caused a fountain-of-youth sensation.
