| 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 | TOLI AGAR Kan14 | Ingredients: Baker's yeast 0.5% (based on fresh weight) CaCl2 0.1% Agar 1.5% Vitamine B12 0.5 µg/ml Preparation / Remarks: pH 7.2 autoclaved Combine with 1 mg/L Kanamycin-sulfate (sterilized by filtration) Pour the plates and streak autoclaved E.coli cells | | |
| 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 | | |
