Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Method used to eliminate bacterial contamination of a marine micro-algal culture. Note, this method is not guaranteed to be 100% successful either due to the fact that the antibiotic combination is not lethal to the bacteria present or it is possible that the strain may not be capable of prolonged growth without the presence of bacteria. This method is based on that of Droop, adapted according to Andersen but using a modern antibiotic mix suggested by S. Slocombe (SAMS - Scottish Association for Marine Science). The method described here have been successfully used by Christian Jeanthon (ECOMAP) to produce axenic cultures of diatoms and E. huxleyi. 1. Droop, M. R.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
