CultureMech:002194 bacterial COMPLEX SOLID_AGAR
Original name: ALKALINE NUTRIENT AGAR

Overview

External ontology
mediadive.medium:J100 (source link unavailable) — ALKALINE NUTRIENT AGAR
Applications
  • Microbial cultivation
pH
10.0
Notes
JCM Medium 100 / Alkaline Nutrient Agar uses the same Nutrient Agar basal formulation as JCM Medium 74, then after autoclaving adjusts the final medium to pH 10.0 with sterile 10% Na2CO3 solution. TOGO M92 and MediaDive J100 report the same JCM recipe.
