[What is Pine bark?]

Pine bark, botanical name Pinus pinaster, is a maritime pine native to southwest France that also grows in countries along the western Mediterranean.  Pine bark contains a number of beneficial compounds that are extracted from the bark in a way that doesn’t destroy or damage the tree.

[How does it work?]

What gives pine bark extract its notoriety as a powerful ingredient and super antioxidant is that it’s loaded with oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds, OPCs for short. The same ingredient can be found in grape seeds, the skin of peanuts and witch hazel bark. But what makes this miracle ingredient so amazing?

While OPCs found in this extract are mostly known for their antioxidant-producing benefits, these amazing compounds exude antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Pine bark extract can help reduce muscle soreness and may help improve conditions relating to poor circulation, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes, ADHD, female reproductive issues, skin, erectile dysfunction, eye disease and sports stamina.

Seems like it must be pretty amazing, but let’s look closer. The list goes on a bit further, as the OPCs in this extract may “inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, capillary permeability and fragility, and to affect enzyme systems,” which basically means it may be a natural treatment for many serious health conditions, such as stroke and heart disease.

Used as solidifying agent for culture media in Petri plates, slants, and deeps Generally not metabolized by microbes Liquefies at 98°C Solidifies ~42°C Dr.T.V.Rao MD’s ‘e’ learning series ,Media and Culture Media: Nutrients (agar, pH indicators, proteins and carbohydrates) used to grow organisms outside of their natural habitats
Culture: The propagation of microorganisms using various media ,Culture media Used to grow bacteria
Can be used to: Enrich the numbers of bacteria
Select for certain bacteria and suppress others Differentiate among different kinds of bacteria ,Culture and Medium Culture is the term given to microorganisms that are cultivated in the lab for the purpose of identifying and studying them.
Medium is the term given to the combination of ingredients that will support the growth and cultivation of microorganisms by providing all the essential nutrients required for the growth (that is, multiplication) in order to cultivate these microorganisms in large numbers to study them. ,Specific Media Defined media are media composed of pure ingredients in carefully measured concentrations dissolved in double distilled water i.e., the exact chemical composition of the medium is known. Typically, they contain a simple sugar as the carbon and energy source, an inorganic nitrogen source, various mineral salts and if necessary growth factors (purified amino acids, vitamins, purines and pyrimidines
,Need for Culture Media It is usually essential to obtain a culture by grwoing the organism in an artificial medium.
If more than one species or type of organism are present each requires to be carefully separated or isolated in pure culture. Several organism need the determination of Antibiotic sensitivity pattern for optimal antibiotic selection ,Basic requirements of culture media Nutrients – Energy source – Carbon source – Nitrogen source Mineral salts – Sulphate, phosphates, chlorides & carbonates of K, Mg & Ca. A suitable pH – 7.2 – 7.4 Accessory growth factors – Tryptophan for Salmonella typhi – X & V factors for H. influenzae
,Pouring the Culture Plates ,Petri dish with Media Plate: provide large surface for isolation and observation of colonies
Using a sterile loop or a sterile swab streak your sample on the petri plate Important let your sterilized loop cool before you pick up your sample ,Classification of Culture media Based on the consistency:Liquid — Peptone water, Nutrient broth Semisolid — Nutrient agar stabsSolid — Blood agar, Serum agar Based on Oxygen requirement: — Aerobic medium — Anaerobic media
,Aerobic Media Simple media Complex mediaMay be Synthetic or Defined Medium – Enriched media – Differential media – Enrichment media – Selective media Semisyntetic Medium – Sugar media – Transport media
