CultureMech:008086 bacterial COMPLEX SOLID_AGAR
Original name: SP5 Medium

Overview

External ontology
TOGO:M1539 — SP5 Medium
Applications
  • Microbial cultivation
pH
7.2
Notes
TOGO M1539 imports SP5 Medium from NBRC Medium 331. NBRC Medium 331 lists 9 g Bacto Casitone from Difco, 1 g Yeast extract, optional 15 g Agar, and 1 L Seawater per liter, with the final pH at 7.2. The NBRC footnote defines the seawater as filtered, aged seawater or artificial seawater from Daigo's Artificial Seawater SP.

Ingredients (4)

# Ingredient Concentration Ontology Notes
1 Bacto Casitone (Difco) 9.0 G_PER_L TOGO M1539 / NBRC Medium 331 lists 9 g/L Bacto Casitone from Difco; this commercial casein digest is retained as an opaque complex component.
2 Yeast extract 1.0 G_PER_L FOODON:03315426
yeast extract
TOGO M1539 / NBRC Medium 331 lists 1 g/L Yeast extract.
3 Agar (if needed) 15.0 G_PER_L CHEBI:2509
agar
TOGO M1539 / NBRC Medium 331 lists 15 g/L Agar as an optional solidifying agent.
4 Seawater 1000.0 ML_PER_L TOGO M1539 / NBRC Medium 331 lists 1 L/L Seawater and allows either filtered, aged seawater or Daigo's Artificial Seawater SP; the exact salt composition is source-variable.

Preparation

  1. Dissolve Bacto Casitone and Yeast extract in Seawater.
  2. Add Agar when a solid SP5 medium is needed.
  3. Bring SP5 Medium to pH 7.2.

Target organisms

No target organisms are recorded.

NBRC Medium 331 lists 9 g Bacto Casitone from Difco, 1 g Yeast extract, optional 15 g Agar, and 1 L Seawater per liter, with the final pH at 7.2. The NBRC footnote defines the seawater as filtered, aged seawater or artificial seawater from Daigo's Artificial Seawater SP. Corrected the imported seawater unit, replaced the MediaDive seawater stock reference with the official NBRC source-level seawater input, grounded yeast extract and optional agar, and kept Bacto Casitone and seawater as sourced unmapped complex inputs.
