I am trying to prepare antibiotics solution of cycloheximide 50mg/ml and nalidixic acid 75mg/ml for isolation of actinomycete. Please can anyone help with the best solvent and detailed protocol.
is it 50 mg/ml or 50 ug/ml (microgram/ml) ? If it’s equal to ppm so it should be in ug/ml
anyway, to prepare medium contain antibiotics 100 ug/ml, I will prepare antibiotic solution by this procedure :
Stock Concentration: 100 mg/mL dissolved in H2O (e.g. 1g powder in 10 mL H2O), stored at -20°C in aliquots
Working dilution: 1/1000, so you have to put 500 µL stock solution in 500 mL of your medium, for example. Your final working concentration is now 100 µg/mL
