Buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) agar is a selective growth medium used to culture or grow certain types of bacteria, particularly the Gram-negative species Legionella pneumophila. [1] It has also been used for the laboratory diagnosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis , [ 2 ] Francisella and Nocardia spp .
Cysteine is chiral, but both D and L-cysteine are found in nature. L‑Cysteine is a protein monomer in all biota, and D-cysteine acts as a signaling molecule in mammalian nervous systems. [8] Cysteine is named after its discovery in urine, which comes from the urinary bladder or cyst, from Greek κύστη kýsti, "bladder". [9]
Cystine is the oxidized derivative of the amino acid cysteine and has the formula (SCH 2 CH(NH 2)CO 2 H) 2.It is a white solid that is poorly soluble in water. As a residue in proteins, cystine serves two functions: a site of redox reactions and a mechanical linkage that allows proteins to retain their three-dimensional structure.
Cystamine (2,2'-dithiobisethanamine) is an organic disulfide.It is formed when cystine is heated, the result of decarboxylation.Cystamine is an unstable liquid and is generally handled as the dihydrochloride salt, C 4 H 12 N 2 S 2 ·2HCl, which is stable to 203-214 °C at which point it decomposes.
CLED agar (cystine–lactose–electrolyte-deficient agar or medium) is a valuable non-inhibitory growth medium used in the isolation and differentiation of urinary microbes. It contains cystine and lactose and is electrolyte -deficient; the latter trait prevents the swarming of Proteus species.
