Ingredients (2)

Preparation

1. Combine Green House Soil and Pasteurized Seawater; add calcium carbonate only for the optional supplemented formulation.
2. Cover the medium container and steam for two consecutive days, three hours on each day. Raise temperature gradually to approximately 95 C in 15 minutes, then just over 98 C for the three-hour duration. Cool gradually at room temperature.
3. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, then bring to room temperature before use.

    Explanation

    Supports variants[0].modifications and removal of the mandatory carbonate node at old ingredients[2]. Separate source component excerpt: 'CaCO3 (optional) (Fisher C 64)'. Separate printed concentration excerpt: '0.05 mM'; the printed molarity is a source annotation for the optional formulation, not a universal parent concentration. Move optional calcium carbonate out of mandatory parent composition into an evidence-backed inline variant. Preserve the literal 1 mg recipe dose, supplier/identity provenance and printed rounded 0.05 mM as a source annotation; do not assert universal carbonate addition. Calculation: No new concentration inferred; the source-literal amount belongs only to the optional formulation.. Separate basis excerpt: 'For 200 mL Total'.
