2,3,5-Triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride (TTC) is a dye largely used for the easy enumeration of microbial colonies in solid culture media. This dye is colorless in the oxidized form and changes to red when reduced by microorganisms, due to the formation of formazan. Live microorganisms, for example, E. coli and other coliforms reduce TTC by enzymatic action, forming red color formazan that is kept inside granules in the cells. TTC is highly recommended in testing pasteurized milk because there is a high percentage of microorganisms unable to reduce TTC in pasteurized milk, which cannot be detected by laboratory procedures. Higher concentrations of TTC may have an inhibitory effect on the growth of Gram-positive organisms.
Application
2,3,5-Triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride (TTC) solution is a redox indicator that can help indicate cellular respiration and identify viable and non-viable cells as well as identify microorganisms capable of reduction of TTC on solid culture media
This study is intended to figure out the function of microRNA-218 (miR-218) together with microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) on the cardiac fibrosis and cardiac function impairment in rat models of myocardial infarction (MI). The rats with MI exhibited cardiac function

Abscisic acid (ABA) has been implicated in plant adaptation to various environmental stresses in addition to the regulation of seed dormancy and leaf senescence. ABI3 is a B3 domain-containing family protein and functions in the ABA signaling pathway during seed
This study investigated the effects of Brazilian Red Propolis (BRP) extract on seven-day-old multispecies subgingival biofilms. Mixed biofilm cultures containing 31 species associated with periodontal health or disease were grown for six days on a Calgary device. Then, mature biofilms
Vibrios are motile, curved or comma-shaped bacilli and have a single polar flagella with sheet proteins. They are often found in open water, freshwater and saltwater.
