500ml, 50x stock, for preparing 25L of liquid medium

Filter-sterilised 0.22µm.

Bold Basal Medium Modified with trace elements and replaced MoO3 with Sodium Molybdate.


Applications

Modified Bold Basal Medium is an axenic-culture maintenance medium in phycology/algae studies.

Commonly used for the cultivation of a variety of freshwater algae cultures (e.g. Trichosarcina, Chlorococcum, and Chlorella) without the need for soil-extract or vitamins (Brown et al., 1964; Nichols and Bold, 1965). Other algae species like Zygnemataceae (Zygogonium ericetorum) can also be grown in Bold’s Basal Medium(Stancheva et al., 2014)

Preparation

Dissolve 1 volume of the media solution 50x stock in 49 volumes of million-Q water, add 1 mL of 0.1% Sulphuric Acid solution to 1 litre of Bold Basal Media liquid.

The final solution pH should be adjusted to 6.6 +/- 0.1 with 5M KOH and Sulphuric Acid.


Storage

When the liquid media is prepared, please store it at 2~8°C, the shelf life of such a stock can be several years as all ingredients and elements are in a stable inorganic salt form.
