Titan cells generation <i>in vitro</i> is impacted by various environmental conditions. by Benjamin Hommel (523072)

“…<p>(<b>A</b>) The sequence of media used at steps 2 and 3 of the protocol was crucial for titan cells generation: yeasts cultured in Yeast Peptone Dextrose (YPD) and transferred to minimal medium (MM) produced significantly more titan cells (cells >10μm, dotted grey line) than yeasts cultured in MM or YPD and transferred in MM or YPD, respectively; (<b>B</b>) Exposure to d light at step 3 had a positive impact on titan cells generation compared to incubation in the dark; (<b>C</b>) Raising the incubation temperature to 37°C at step 3 decreased titan cells formation compared to 30°C; (<b>D</b>) Modification of the initial pH of the MM used at step 3 impacted titan cells formation with pH 5.5 being optimal while a more acidic (pH = 4), a neutral (pH = 7) or an alkaline (pH = 8.5) pH inhibited titan cells formation; (<b>E</b>) The impact of hypoxia was tested by physical (closed cap) and by chemical (COCl₂ in MM at 1 nM) method and compared to normoxia (21% oxygen). …”
