DY-V Medium |
|
L16, L16-V |
This medium was originally formulated for growth of Peridinium gatunense from Lake Kinneret (Lindström 1991), but works very well for other dinoflagellates as well. |
MWC/MWC+Se |
We use the recipe in Guillard et al. (1972), but often use a slight modification according to Rengefors (pers. com.): TES- is used instead of TRIS buffer and selenium is added. |
NF2/NF2A |
This medium is a slight modification of the Bs medium (Christensen 1982). Bs is a modification of the classic freshwater media of Bold and Bristol. |
O |
This medium (O stands for organic nutrient mixture) is useful for bacteria eating algae like Ochromonas viridis. |
SC/SP |

ES |

L1 |
L1 (L1-Si, L1-Si+NH4) The L1-medium is a modification of the f/2 medium. The difference is a broader trace metal composition in L1. We use it as standard medium for marine diatoms. The L1-trace metal solution is used also in many other media. |
Modified Johnsons J/1 |
This medium is used for Dunaliella salina. |
MV |
We have used MV (Marine medium with Vitamins) for many years as a standard medium for marine benthic algae. This is the medium named ESI by Tatewaki (1966) but supplemented with vitamins. |
TL |
This medium is a modification of an Erd-Schreiber medium. |
