Bristol’s Modified Medium
Make six stock solutions, each with one of the following salts dissolved in 400 milliliters
of water:
10 g sodium nitrate (NaNO3)
1 g calcium chloride (CaCl2•2H2O)
3 g magnesium sulfate (MgSO4•7H2O)
3 g potassium phosphate dibasic (K2HPO4)
7 g potassium phosphate monobasic (KH2PO4)
1 g sodium chloride (NaCl)
Take 10 mL of each stock solution and add to 900 mL of distilled water. Next add
one drop of 1% iron(III) chloride solution, 40 mL of Pringsheim’s soil-water extract and
autoclave.
BIOLOGY PLANTS
Pringsheim’s Soil Water
Select a rich garden soil which has not been recently fertilized. Add 300 g of the soil to
a gallon jar. Fill three-fourths full with distilled water and then add one gram of calcium
carbonate (CaCO3). Plug or cap jar loosely and steam for one hour per day on each of
three consecutive days.
To culture Spirogyra, do not add calcium carbonate. To culture Euglena add one-fourth of
a pea cotyledon before steaming. This will enhance growth. To culture diatoms, add 10–30
mg of sodium metasilicate (Na2SiO3•9H2O) to every liter of medium.
