Directions

Suspend 30.15 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat just to boiling. Dispense as desired and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 25°C and store in a cool, dry place preferably below 25°C.

Note: Due to the presence of calcium carbonate, the prepared medium forms opalescent solution with white precipitate.

Principle And Interpretation

Thioglycollate Medium with CaCO3 is a modification of the original medium of thioglycollate described by Brewer (1) and is recommended for maintenance of stock cultures.

Casein enzymic hydrolysate, soyabean meal and L-cystine provides amino acids and other nitrogenous substances to support bacterial growth. Yeast extract provides the B-complex vitamins. Sodium chloride provides essential ions. Dextrose is an energy source. The incorporation of calcium carbonate helps to neutralize acid produced during growth (2, 3). The reducing action provided by sodium thioglycollate and sodium sulphite binds molecular oxygen, thereby maintaining a low Eh. (4). A small amount of agar is added to retard the absorption of oxygen by reducing convection currents in the medium.
