Purpose
- AB medium is a minimal growth medium used for bacterial cultures. It has some changes compared to M9 medium and is supposed to course less problems with precipitation [1].
Recipe
for 1 liter AB medium |
---|
2 g (NH4)2SO4 |
6 g Na2HPO4 |
3 g KH2PO4 |
3 g NaCl |
200 ml H2O |
Prepare and autoclave.
for 1 liter AB medium |
---|
1 ml 0.1 M CaCl2 (sterile) |
1 ml 1.0 M MgCl2 (sterile) |
1 ml 0.003 M FeCl3 (sterile) |
797 ml H2O (sterile) |
Mix A and B. This makes AB. Do never add B salts to 5xA!
Different things can or should be added:
- Carbon source (has to be added):
- 0.2% glucose (10ml of 20% or 4ml of 50% sterile stock)
- 0.4% acetate (20ml of 20% sterile sodium-acetate stock)
- Amino acids (check AA requirement of your strain):
- 0.5% casamino acids (50ml of 10% sterile stock)
- 10μg/ml thiamine (1 ml of sterile 1 mg/ml stock)
