D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
D003624	Darkness	The absence of light.	Darknesses
D000461	Rhodophyta	Red algae whose color results from predominace of the red pigment (PHYCOERYTHRIN). However, if this pigment is destroyed, the algae can appear purple, brown, green, or yellow. Two important substances found in the cell walls of red algae are AGAR and CARRAGEENAN. Some rhodophyta are notable SEAWEED (macroalgae).	Algae, Red,Red Algae
D000622	Aminolevulinic Acid	A compound produced from succinyl-CoA and GLYCINE as an intermediate in heme synthesis. It is used as a PHOTOCHEMOTHERAPY for actinic KERATOSIS.	5-Amino Levulinic Acid,5-Aminolaevulinate,5-Aminolevulinate,Aminolevulinic Acid Hydrochloride,Delta-Aminolevulinic Acid,Levulan,5 Amino Levulinic Acid,5 Aminolaevulinate,5 Aminolevulinate,Acid Hydrochloride, Aminolevulinic,Acid, 5-Amino Levulinic,Acid, Aminolevulinic,Acid, Delta-Aminolevulinic,Delta Aminolevulinic Acid,Hydrochloride, Aminolevulinic Acid,Levulinic Acid, 5-Amino
