When preparing DF (Dworkin and Foster, 1958) minimal medium, could I substitute MoO3 with MoNa2O4 *2H2O?

25 October 2018 0 829 Report

I'm using this medium to isolate bacteria with ACC deaminase activity, and we don't have MoO3 in this moment, plus I would have to wait a long time for distribution, so I was wondering if I could substitute it with MoNa2O4 *2H2O? This compound is necessary for micro nutrient solution preparation?

Or maybe just not add it?
