Table 1. Recipe
Name | Amount | Concentration | Formula/M.W. | CAS # |
---|---|---|---|---|
tryptone | 2.5 g | 2.5 g/L | /0 | 75-75-2 |
yeast extract | 1.25 g | 1.25 g/L | /0 | 8013-01-2 |
glycerol | 0.1 L | 10% v/v | C3H8O3/92.09 | 56-81-5 |
- Prepare 0.8 L of H2O in a suitable container.
- Add 2.5 g of tryptone to the solution.
- Add 1.25 g of yeast extract to the solution.
- Add 0.1 L of glycerol to the solution.
- Add H2O until the volume is 1 L.
- Sterilize the medium by passing it through a prerinsed 0.22-µm filter. Store in 2.5-mL aliquots at 4°C.
