Slide Coagulase Test: Introduction, Principle, Procedure, Result Interpretation, Limitations and Keynotes
Introduction of Slide Coagulase Test: Slide coagulase test is proceeded to detect bound coagulase or clumping factor. Coagulase test is an enzymatic test that is used to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus (positive) from coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). Coagulase is an enzyme produced by S. aureus that converts soluble fibrinogen of plasma to insoluble fibrin. S. aureus produces two forms of coagulase i.e. bound and free coagulase. Slide coagulase test is proceeded to detect bound coagulase or clumping factor. A tube coagulase test is...
Tube Coagulase Test: Introduction, Principle, Procedure, Result Interpretation,Limitations and Keynotes
Introduction of Tube Coagulase Test A tube coagulase test is done to detect free coagulase. Coagulase test is an enzymatic test that is used to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus (positive) from coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS).

Fungus Preservation Techniques: Introduction, Types and Details About Sterile Water Preservation Technique
Fungus Preservation Techniques The main objectives of fungal culture are to grow the organisms, isolate the organisms, and if necessary preserve the organisms. A fungal culture is a genetic resource and thus fungus preservation techniques are applicable for the following purposes; Germplasm conservation Developmental studies Industrial Application Research programs Types of Fungus Preservation Techniques Fungal culture preservation techniques are as follows- Periodic serial subcultures Sterile water Sterile mineral oil overlay Sterile soil or sand Silica gel Drying on organic substrates L-drying...
