Yeast viability can be accurately quantified using BacLight, a kit which so far has been used only for bacterial analysis. Upon staining, viable cells can be differentiated from non-viable ones by either confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), epifluorescence microscopy, or flow cytometry. Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model, viabilities quantified by CLSM deviated an average of 1.7% from the actual data, and those determined by flow-cytometry by 1.4%.
使用BacLight可以准确量化酵母活力,该试剂盒迄今为止仅用于细菌分析。染色后,通过共聚焦激光扫描显微镜(CLSM)、落射荧光显微镜或流式细胞术可区分活细胞和非活细胞。以酿酒酵母为模型,CLSM量化的活力与实际数据平均偏差1.7%,流式细胞术测定的活力与实际数据平均偏差1.4%。
