General description

Cyanobacteria BG-11 Freshwater Solution is a 50X chemstock used to prepare cyanobacteria BG-11 media for culturing cyanobacteria, such as Synechocystis 6803, Nostoc sp. PCC 9104, and Nostoc sp. PCC 9025.

Application

Cyanobacteria BG-11 Freshwater Solution has been used:
  • to culture Synechococcus sp.
  • for culturing Chlorella minutissima
  • as a diluting agent to measure the growth rate at different temperatures in Microcystis aeruginosa

Formula variant

With major salts and trace metals.

Reconstitution

When used for marine species add 10g/L sodium chloride and 1μg/L vitamin B12.
Use at 20ml/L.

Suboptimal light and chemical distribution (CO2, O2) in photobioreactors hinder phototrophic microalgal productivity and prevent economically scalable production of biofuels and bioproducts. Current strategies that improve illumination in reactors negatively impact chemical distribution, and vice versa. In this work, an
