# 1560: MARINES PLANCTOMYCES MEDIUM


## Main sol. 1560

0.25	g	Peptone (Bacto)	
0.25	g	Yeast extract (Bacto)	
2.38	g	HEPES	
20	ml	**Mineral salts solution**	
1	ml	**Trace element solution**	
250	ml	**Artifical sea water**	
15	g	Agar (Bacto)	
730	ml	Double distilled water	

1. Sterilize 20 min./121°C. After cooling to 60°C add: 

8	ml	N-Acetylglucosamine (10% stock solution, 10 % stock solution)	
10	ml	Glucose (2.5%, sterile-filtered)	
5	ml	**Vitamin solution (double conc.)** (medium 621)	

2. Adjust pH to 7.5 (the medium is only weakly buffered; one needs approx. 10 drops/l medium of 6 N KOH).

46.94	g	NaCl	
7.84	g	Na2SO4	
21.28	g	MgCl2 x 6 H2O	
2.86	g	CaCl2	
0.38	g	NaHCO3	
1.38	g	KCl	
0.192	g	KBr	
0.052	g	H3BO3	
0.08	g	SrCl2	
6	mg	NaF	
1000	ml	Double distilled water	


## Mineral salts solution

10	g	Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)	
29.7	g	MgSO4 x 7 H2O	
3.34	g	CaCl2 x 2 H2O	
12.67	mg	Na2MoO7O4 x 2 H2O	
99	mg	FeSO4 x 7 H2O	
50	ml	**"Metals 44"**	
950	ml	Distilled water	

1. Dissolve the nitrilotriacetic acid, adjust the pH to 7.0 with KOH (about 7.3 g). Dissolve other salts separately, combine and adjust the pH to 6.8 with NaOH or H2SO4.
