General description

Mycoplasma Broth is a basal medium which, after enrichment with yeast extract, horse serum, and antibiotics, will support the growth of Mycoplasma sp. The components contained in this basal medium do not exhibit inhibitory or toxic effects when used to culture mycoplasma. A special mineral supplement has been added to improve the growth and colony characteristics of the organism.

Application

Mycoplasma Broth has been used for isolation and cultivation of mycoplasma. It may also be used to grow Porphyromonas gingivalis under anerobic conditions.

Components

Powder contains (g/L): 10.0 bacterial peptone, 10.0 LAB-LEMCO powder, 5.0 sodium chloride, 0.5 mineral supplement.

Preparation Note

Basal Medium:

1. Suspend 25.5 g of powdered medium in 1L of distilled water. Stir until the powder dissolves.

2. Adjust the pH of the solution to 7.8 ± 0.2.

3. Autoclave at 121 °C and 15 psi for 15 minutes to sterilize. Cool to 50 °C and add sterile supplements.

Storage and Stability
