The spot-on-lawn method was applied to determine the antimicrobial activity using Staphylcoccus aureus CICC 10384 as indicator stains (Yue et al. 2013).
Various Industries like pharmaceutical, food, printing and textile industries use various dyes as redox indicators, biological stains [1, 2, 3, 4].
MB is used as a redox indicator, as a stain for bacteriology [9], for treating malaria and a number of diseases [10, 11] and as a treatment for fungal infections of fishes and fish eggs [12].
Because changes in the cellular membrane and cytosol during differentiation were shown to influence membrane adsorption and cellular internalization, we could successfully evaluate the extent of differentiation simply like stain indicators.
Within these lesions, CD34 expression has been used diagnostically [22] and has been proposed as a prognostic indicator, as CD34 staining correlates with the extent of tumor angiogenesis [25].
AO may be used as a fluorescent biofilm biomass indicator as it stains cells as well as the nucleic acids that are a normal component of the extracellular matrix (31).
Furthermore, 8‐OHdG staining, an indicator of oxidative stress, was reduced in AC5 KO (Fig. 5E).
In contrast, alkaline phosphatase staining, an indicator of osteogenesis, was positively correlated with the mineral content.
Safranin O staining, an indicator of large deposits of proteoglycan, was negative (not shown).
Collagen X staining, an indicator of chondrocyte hypertrophy [30], is minimal.
