“…The cultures were grown in defined medium with xylan as substrate, centrifuged (14 000 × g, 15 min, 5 °C), and exposed to different challenging doses of EtBr -1 (concentration 50, 100, and 150 mg mL ) (Chand et al 2005), and EMS (concentration 50, 100, and 150 mg -1 mL ) (Rakariyatham et al 2006), and incubated for 30, 60, 90, 120 min (Chand et al 2005). Cells surviving these doses were grown in agar medium containing 1% oat spelt xylan in the presence of (2% w/w from Oat spelt xylan) glucose, glycerol, or xylose.…”
