f/2培養(yǎng)基是目前微藻保種培養(yǎng)過程中用到最廣泛的配方之一，針對不同的一些藻以f/2培養(yǎng)基為基礎(chǔ)還能衍生出一些 特殊用途的配方。
Black Sea Medium: For brackish water organisms (16 psu, half-strength nutrients). Combine 500 mL f/2 medium and 500 mL dH2O. Autoclave.
f/2 agar: Prepare 1 liter of f/2 medium and dissolve 9g Bacto-agar (heat and mix). For test tubes, dispense dissolved agar medium into tubes, autoclave, and then cool with tubes slanted at an angle. For Petri plates, autoclave in a flask, cool almost to the gelling point, and then aseptically dispense into sterile Petri plates. Note: Agar can be added to other media (e.g., f/50 agar), and agar concentration can be varied to produce softer or firmer substrates.
f/2-Si: Prepare as for f/2 medium but omit Na2SiO 3 · 9H2O. This is preferred over f/2 medium for organisms with no silica requirement because less precipitation forms.
f/2 + Se: Extra silicon and selenium are beneficial to several diatom strains. Prepare 1 L of f/2 medium but use 2 mL of silicate stock, then add 1.0 mL of selenium stock solution (1.29 mg H2SeO 3 /L distilled H2O). Autoclave.
f/2 (11 psu): For brackish water organisms. Mix 650 mL distilled H2O and 350 mL filtered seawater. Add f/2 medium nutrients and autoclave.
f/2-Si (24 psu): Mix 750 mL distilled H2O and 250 mL filtered seawater. Prepare as for f/2 medium but omit Na2SiO 3 · 9H2O.
f/4: Add 500 mL f/2 medium to 500 mL filtered seawater, then autoclave.
f/4-Si: Autoclave 1 L of filtered seawater. When cool, aseptically add f/2-Si nutrients at half concentration (i.e., 0.5 mL).
f/20-Si: Autoclave 1 L of filtered seawater. When cool, aseptically add f/2-Si nutrients at one tenth concentration (i.e., 100 μL).
f/50-Si: This is more than a 1/25 dilution of f/2-Si medium. We autoclave 1 L of seawater in a Teflon-lined bottle. Wait for the autoclaved seawater to cool to room temperature (important). Aseptically add 40 μL of sterile f/2 nutrients (20 μL of vitamins).
f/50-Si + CCMP1320 as food: Prepare f/50 and aseptically add 50 μL of healthy, moderately dense culture of CCMP1320.
f/2m: To 1L f/2 medium add 1 g methylamine · HCl, mix until dissolved and autoclave. This medium is used to test for contamination by methylaminotrophic bacteria.
f/2p: To 1 L f/2 medium, add 1 g Bacto-peptone, mix until dissolves and autoclave. This medium is used to test for contamination by non- methylaminotrophic bacteria and fungi.
f/2pm: To 1L f/2 medium add 1 g Bacto-peptone and 1 g methylamine · HCl, mix until dissolved and autoclave. This general medium is used to test for contamination by bacteria and fungi.
f/2 + NPM: Add f/2 nutrients to 900 mL of seawater and autoclave. After cooling, aseptically add 100 mL of the following organic stock solution. Dispense aseptically into test tubes.
