Dear fellow researchers,

I have stumbled upon a rather trivial thing during writing down my thesis. I have obtained several strains from DSMZ which provides a rather wide list of cultivation media, which fits most of the growth parameters of their provided strains. The DSMZ admits that cultivation in these media ensures growth and as such, the media recipes are freely accessible from the internet. During my studies, I have slightly adjusted the given media, but I want to properly cite them.

I know, this might be trivial, but I want to ensure that I credit everybody for their work.

All that is at their page, is the following " © 2017 DSMZ GmbH - All rights reserved " at the end of each medium.

My suggestion is that the medium should be cited as follows:

...the cultivation of the pure strain was undergone in the medium ABC derived from medium 823 (823. HALOBACULUM GOMORRENSE MEDIUM, © 2007 DSMZ GmbH)...

or perhaps...

...in the medium ABC derived from medium 823 (© 2007 DSMZ GmbH)...

I would be thankful for any replies, suggestions or experiences regarding this problem.
