Hi,
I am wondering-is it possible to buy a ready made mix of acids for the SCFA supplement (acetic, propionic, butyric and isovaleric acid)? I need to prepare a bacterial culture medium and this supplement is a pain. Tried googling, but could not find a vendor.
Thanks!
Most commonly it is done using salts of these acids for example ammonium acetate or sodium acetate. Would be easy to make solution according to your need/protocol or growth medium.
The recipe that I have calls for making it directly from liquid acids, not salts. Not sure what is most commonly used in the field. Is there another recipe that I could follow?
Well the recipe is several pages long, so I am not sure if it makes sense to go over that:). My only concern is whether the SCFA supplement needs to be made or can be bought. If you make it out of salts, can you please suggest the protocol that you use for that?
