The 230 g bottle contains approximately 1800 beads (one bead weighs 128 mg).
To re-use the rattler beads, simply wash the beads first with bleach, and then rinse with water before autoclaving.
‘For growth rates 0.3 and 0.7 h−1 , two independent chemostat and starvation runs were performed.. Samples were diluted in fresh N− C− minimal medium without carbon substrate and spread on LB Agar using Rattler Plating Beads (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA, USA).. LB Agar was supplemented with 25 μg ml−1 of 2,3,5‐triphenyltetrazolium chloride to stain colonies and increase contrast for automated colony counting (Scan 1200, Interscience, Saint‐Nom‐la‐Bret_che, France) of 100–200 colonies per..’

‘The broth culture was centrifuged at 9,000 ×g and supernatant were used for preparation of methanol extract.. Meanwhile, YME broth cultures of PCS pathogenic Streptomyces strains were spread on YME agar plates with RattlerTM plating beads (Zymo Research Cooperation, United States), separately.. 25 μL methanolic extract of antagonistic Streptomyces were poured on filter paper disks and placed on YME- agar plates previously spread with pathogenic PCS suspension.’
