Hello,

"Si l'organisme hôte ne secrète pas la substance antimicrobienne dans le milieu de culture, une étape supplémentaire de casse des cellules et de purification de l'extrait cellulaire peut être nécessaire."

disagree  Bertrand Leduc: I do not think that ‘’cell lysis’’ (breaking down the cell membrane by viruses, osmosis, enzymes…) would be used in this context.

homogenization


Explanation:
A host of fractionation procedures are employed by cell biologists. Each organelle has characteristics (size, shape and density for example) which make it different from other organelles within the same cell. If the cell is broken open in a gentle manner, each of its organelles can be subsequently isolated. The process of breaking open cells is homogenization and the subsequent isolation of organelles is fractionation. Isolating the organelles requires the use of physical chemistry techniques, and those techniques can range from the use of simple sieves, gravity sedimentation or differential precipitation, to ultracentrifugation of fluorescent labeled organelles in computer generated density gradients.
