Make the MBB base to 1 L before TOM supplementation. |
Preparation
- Add 10 mL of each mineral stock and 1 mL of each trace stock; make to 1 L.
- Add 0.715 g HEPES, 1.5% glucose, and 2% proteose peptone for TOM.
- Adjust TOM to pH 7.1.
- The PDF lists a vitamin stock but gives no unambiguous final addition rate, so it is not asserted.
- Autoclave following the SAG general preparation guidance.
