CCMP: L1 Medium

(Guillard and Hargraves 1993) 

To 950 mL filtered seawater add:

Compound Quantity Stock Solution Molar Concentration
in the final Medium
NaNO3 1ml 75 g/L dH2O 8.83 x 10-4 M
NaH2PO4 x H2O 1ml 5 g/L dH2O 3.63 x 10-5 M
Na2SiO3 x 9H2O* 1mL* 30 g/L dH2O* 1.07 x 10-4 M*
L1 trace metal solution 1ml (see recipe below)
f/2 vitamin solution 0.5ml (see recipe below)


Make final volume up to 1 L with filtered seawater and autoclave.

* Note: We do not add the silicate to our normal L1 medium because it causes extensive precipitation. If we add silicate, the recipe symbol is L1 + Si.
