Stock 5 (Microelements):

  • 2.86g/liter H3BO3
  • 1.81g/liter MnCl2•4H2O
  • 0.222g/liter ZnSO4•7H2O
  • 0.079g/liter CuSO4•5H2O
  • 0.050g/liter COCl2•6H2O
  • 0.391g/liter NaMoO4•2H2O or 0.018g/liter MoO4 (85%)

Basic BG11 medium

Combine the following stock solutions (for 1 liter):

  • 10 mL Stock 1
  • 10 mL Stock 2
  • 10 mL Stock 3
  • 0.02 g Na2CO3
  • 1.0 mL Stock 5
  • 1.5 g NaNO3

Combine stocks and adjust pH to 7.5 (use 1.0N HCl). Aliquot into flasks (50 mL/125 mL flask) with cotton stoppers on top and autoclave. After autoclaving and cooling the pH is about 7.1. For solid media add 1% noble agar. For BG-11, don't add NaNO3.
