The invention relates to solid or liquid thiocyanate-containing agents as an additive to solid and liquid Naehr- or culture media for microorganisms and cell, tissue and organ cultures for the purpose of Proliferationsfoerderung or the stabilization of cell functions, d. H. a Vitalitaetsfoerderung. The application is particularly important for biotechnological cultivation processes, both to increase the biomass production and to stimulate certain cell performances z. B. when cultivated in fermenters. When using cultures for diagnostic purposes, the addition of costly growth and / or differentiation factors can be reduced. Due to the general Vitalitaetserhoehung cultured cells improved survival ability to be cultivated cells even under unfavorable conditions achievable, z. B. under transport conditions, at elevated temperature or damaged cells. The agent is inexpensive. There are no health risks in the long-term use of culture media with thiocyanate addition, as well as no environmental impact during disposal. |
