General description

Cyanobacteria BG-11 Freshwater Solution is a 50X chemstock used to prepare cyanobacteria BG-11 media for culturing cyanobacteria, such as Synechocystis 6803, Nostoc sp. PCC 9104, and Nostoc sp. PCC 9025.

Application

Cyanobacteria BG-11 Freshwater Solution has been used:
  • to culture Synechococcus sp.
  • for culturing Chlorella minutissima
  • as a diluting agent to measure the growth rate at different temperatures in Microcystis aeruginosa

Formula variant

With major salts and trace metals.

Reconstitution

When used for marine species add 10g/L sodium chloride and 1μg/L vitamin B12.
Use at 20ml/L.
