Trout leukocytes: growth in oxygenated cultures
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|July 16, 1971
Abstract:
A reproducible method of culturing leukocytes from rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) has been found. Using an atmosphere of 100 percent oxygen, we stimulated peripheral blood leukocytes to divide at 19 degrees C. Cultured cells were used for a karyological study; they had a modal chromosome number of 60 and a constant arm number of 104, a value previously reported for other tissues in these fish.

Temperature-Dependent Growth of Brook TroutThe growth of brook trout is closely influenced by water temperature. Experimental data demonstrate how trout weight changes over a 24-day period in response to varying water temperatures. At lower temperatures, such as 15.5 degrees Celsius, brook trout show significant weight gain. However, as the temperature increases, the amount of weight gained steadily decreases. At the highest temperature measured, 24.4 degrees Celsius, trout experience a net...
01:29Oxygen Requirements and Growth Patterns
Microorganisms exhibit diverse oxygen requirements and growth patterns driven by their metabolic strategies and environmental adaptations. Oxygen, while essential for many organisms, can also be toxic under certain conditions, shaping how microorganisms grow and survive.Oxygen Requirements of MicroorganismsMicroorganisms are classified based on their ability to use or tolerate oxygen:● Obligate aerobes like Mycobacterium tuberculosis need oxygen for energy production, as it serves as the...
