Comments: | Effect of chlorine-containing antibiotic on growth cryopreservation photosynthetic |
Medium: | ATCC® Medium 5: Sporulation agar |
Growth Conditions: | Temperature: 25.0°C Duration: axenic |
Cryopreservation: | 1.xa0xa0 Harvest cells from a culture which is at or near peak density by adding 3.0 ml fresh ATCC medium 5 broth to the slant and washing cells into suspension. 2. Adjust the concentration of cells to 4 x 106/ml with fresh broth medium, then dilute to half this concentration by adding an equal amount of a 10% (v/v) sterile methanol solution in fresh ATCC medium 5 broth. 3.xa0 Dispense in 0.5 ml aliquots into 1.0 - 2.0 ml sterile plastic screw-capped cryules (special plastic vials for cryopreservation).xa0 The time from mixing of the cell preparation and the methanol solution, before the cooling cycle begins, should be no greater than 15 min. 4.xa0xa0 Place vials in a controlled rate freezing unit. From room temperature cool at -1°C/min to -40°C. If freezing unit can compensate for the heat of fusion, maintain rate at -1 C/min through heat of fusion. At -40°C plunge ampules into liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, place the vials in a Nalgene 1°C freezing apparatus.xa0 Place the apparatus at -80°C for 1.5 to 2 hours and then plunge ampules into liquid nitrogen.xa0 (The cooling rate in this apparatus is approximately -1°C/min.) xa0xa0 5.xa0xa0 The frozen preparations should be stored in either the vapor or liquid phase of a nitrogen refrigerator. Frozen preparations stored below -130°C are stabile indefinitely. Those stored at temperatures above -130°C are progressively less stabile as the storage temperature is elevated. Vials can be stored between -80 and -70°C for no longer than one week. 6.xa0xa0 To establish a culture from the frozen state place an ampule in a water bath set at 35°C. Immerse the vial to a level just above the surface of the frozen material. Do not agitate the vial. 7.xa0xa0 Immediately after thawing, do not leave in the water bath, aseptically remove the contents of the ampule and add to a centrifuge tube containing 5 ml of ATCC medium 5 without agar.xa0 Centrifuge at 300 x g for 5 min. 10.Remove most of the supernatant (=methanol, which can inhibit growth) and then resuspend the pellet.xa0 Transfer the culture to a fresh tube of ATCC medium 5 and incubate on a 15° horizontal slant at 50-100 µEinsteins/m2/s irradiance at 25°C with the cap loosened one half turn.xa0 Maintain under a 14/10 h light-dark photoperiod. |
