18281	COLE AGAR	Ingredients: CaCl2 x 2 H2O 1.3g Agar (Difco) 15.0g Distilled water 1000.0ml Preparation / Remarks: pH 7.2 (KOH) autoclaved Pour the plates and streak living E.coli cells
18281	CY-AGAR	Ingredients: Casitone(Difco) 0.3% yeast extract 0.1% CaCl2 0.1% Agar 1.5% Preparation / Remarks: pH 7.2 (KOH) autoclaved
18281	TOLI AGAR Kan4	Ingredients: Agar (Difco) 1.5% CaCl2 0.1% Cycloheximide 2.5 mg per 100 ml Preparation / Remarks: pH 7.2 (KOH) autoclaved w-agar with 2.5 mg of cycloheximide per 100 ml, the antibiotic is filter sterilized and added to the agar just before pouring Cycloheximide does not seem to affect growth of myxobakteria, whereas fungi and amoebae are often inhibited. Combine with 250 mg/L Kanamycin-sulfate (sterilized by filtration) Pour the plates and streak autoclaved E.coli cells
