DSMZ 167 . SPOROCYTOPHAGA MEDIUM

What is this page?
* Medium for Sporocytophaga myxococcoides DSM 11118

It is recommended to use the following modified medium for the reactivation of freeze-dried samples: Prepare agar plates of medium 167 by supplementing medium with 1.5% (w/v) agar. Place 4 pieces of sterile cellulose (not nitrocellulose!) filter paper on each agar plate. Suspend freeze-dried content of the inner vial of one ampoule with 0.5 ml of liquid medium 167 and inoculate each piece of the filter paper with 1 large drop of the cell suspension. Alternatively, the strain also grows with 0.1% glucose or 0.1% cellobiose as carbon source.


Growth conditions: 3-7 days aerobic 25 °C
Equipment needed: Filter

Final pH: 7.2

1 Adjust pH to 7.2.
2 Place a strip of sterile cellulose filter paper onto an agar plate. Alternatively, place a strip of sterile cellulose filter paper into a culture tube containing 5 ml of medium, thereby leaving 1 - 2 cm of the strip outside of the medium. Inoculate the strain onto the cellulose filter paper. The strain will grow on the cellulose paper only.
