Decoloration of azo dyes by three whiterot fungi: influence of carbon source
Abstract:
Two strains of Phanerochaete chrysosporium and a local isolate of white-rot fungus, if pre-cultured in a high nitrogen medium with glucose, could decolorize two azo dyes (Amaranth and Orange G) and a heterocyclic dye (Azure B). When starch was used in the pre-cultivation medium, decoloration of Orange G occurred if the medium also contained 12MM NH4Cl, whether or not veratric acid was present. In medium containing 1.2MM NH4Cl and veratric acid, greater decoloration occurred with one strain of P. chrysosporium and the local isolate. In preculture medium with cellulose and 1.2MM NH4Cl, decoloration by the local isolate was enhanced but not that by the other strains.

Fixation and Sectioning
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
