dc.description.abstractChemical methods that have been used to obtain axenic algal cultures are reviewed. The methods include the use of antibiotics, hypochlorite, iodine, hormones, phenol and detergents singly or in combination. Data are given on the use of antifungal agents such as caffeine, griseofulvin and the polyene macrolides e.g. nystatin. When appropriate, the use of physical methods e.g. gel adsorption, sonication, filtration, and osmosis is described where these techniques are used in conjugation with antifungal/antibacterial compounds.
dc.description.abstractOn a examiné les méthodes chimiques en usage pour la production de cultures axéniques d'algues. Ces méthodes comprennent I'usage d'antibiotiques, de l'hypochlorite, de l’iode, des hormones, du phénol et de détersifs, employés séparément ou en combinaison. Des données sont présentées quant à I'usage de substances antifongiques telles que Ie cafféine, Ie griséofulvin, et les macrolides de polyene, e.g. Ie nystatine. L'usage de méthodes physiques, e.g. I'adsorption sur gèle, la sonication, la filtration, et I'osmose, est décrite où on se sert de ces méthodes en conjonction de composés antifongigues ou antibactériennes.
