A New, ‘Agar Embedding Method’ for Eliminating Bacterial Contamination in Plant Tissue Culture
Bacterial contamination is a major problem in plant tissue culture, resulting in loss of experimental strains or preventing use of field-collected isolates. Plant scientists (Carey et al, 2015) from the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA developed an ‘agar embedding method’ for eliminating bacteria from experimental cultures of the mosses Ceratodon purpureus and Physcomitrella patens.…
