English term or phrase: iron-starved
Si tratta di un test in vitro su colture batteriche. Il termine che mi crea difficoltà è iron-starved. Di seguito il contesto. Ovviamente, le xxx proteggono i contenuti confidenziali.

Grazie!

The cultures were picked from the plates and inoculated into 1% Trypticase Soy Broth (TSB). When the optical density (OD590nm) read 0.4 (mid-exponential growth phase), the broth content was diluted into **iron-starved** BM-2 broth containing various concentrations of xxx xxxx. The sample was grown for 24 hours and then the OD590nm was measured. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for xxxxxx for the various species shown. Values for xxxx and xxxx are given for comparison.

«Nonostante ciò, sono stati diversi i contribu-ti scientifici volti a dimostrare l’effetto inibente di alcuni siderofori su varie specie di microrganismi, in base alla possibilità che tali sostanze, deprivate dal ferro, possano sottrarre questo elemento ai batteri inibendone dunque i sistemi enzimatici utili alla loro crescita.»

neutral  PLR TRADUZIO (X): Gaetano, in biologia si "depriva" un organismo, ma non un terreno di coltura; lo si prepara senza o privo di alcuni elementi.//No Gaetano, ma l'articolo parla appunto di deprivazione di ferro per i siderorofori; non dal brodo.

  -> Contesti allora anche l'articolo scientifico? / A me sembrava che il concetto fosse applicabile benissimo anche al brodo: non vedo la differenza.
