What medium other than ATCC 550 R 8 AH medium can be used to grow Rhodospirillum rubrum?

08 March 2022 1 6K Report

To anyone who happened to grow this strain,

I am using Nutrient Broth to grow it in both liquid and agar. However, after 5 days, I cannot notice a visible concentrating of the cells.

Hi ,

You can use YPD (yeast extract (1%), peptone (2%), dextrose (2%)) medium and may take 24 / 48hrs to grow.
