Directions
Suspend 24.1 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat just to boiling. Mix well and dispense in tubes or flasks as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Note: Due to presence of calcium carbonate, the medium forms opalescent solution with white precipitate.
Principle And Interpretation
Nitrogen-fixing organisms are free-living bacteria, which grow well on a nitrogen-free medium. These bacteria utilize atmospheric nitrogen gas for their cell protein synthesis. This cell protein is then mineralized in soil after the death of the cells thereby contributing towards the nitrogen availability of the crop plants (1). Nitrogen fixing bacteria enter into symbiosis only with leguminous plants, by infecting their roots and forming nodules on them. Jensens Broth is formulated according to Jensen and is recommended for detection and cultivation of nitrogen fixing bacteria (2).
Sucrose acts as the energy source. Sodium molybdate in the media increases the fixation of nitrogen (3). Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate buffers the medium well. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium of the medium. Calcium stimulates nodulation when present as chloride or sulphate.
