I am looking for standard nutrient solid media recipes or protocols used to culture marine bacteria. What are the standard types of media used to culture marine bacteria (psychrophiles)?
Also, in scenarios where these media are not able to culture these bacteria what methods are then employed?
Salam,
You may have a look on the following papers,

This discussion could help also

Cheers :)
One commonly used media is Marine Agar 2216, which is based on ZoBell media. Works fine with my psychrophiles. :)
For those bacteria that cannot grow on this media, you might need low-nutrient media or a special one designed for the purpose.
