Alga-Gro is a sterile enrichment for adding to fresh or saltwater to produce an almost universal algal medium.
We recommend using Alga-Gro for culturing Anabaena, Chlorella, Dunaliella, Scenedesmus and Volvox.
Each 20 mL tube makes one litre of medium.
How to use:
For Alga-Gro Freshwater Medium: add 1 tube of Alga-Grow to 1 litre of bottled mineral water. Transfer to suitable sterile containers (autoclaved at 15psi for 15 minutes) and cover with foil to exclude dust. Add algae when cool.
For Alga-Gro Saltwater Medium: add 1 tube of Alga-Grow to 1 litre of sterile natural seawater or sterile artificial sea water (autoclaved at 15psi for 15 minutes). Transfer to suitable sterile containers and cover with foil to exclude dust. Add algae when cool.
It is important not to overdilute your algae as this may allow any contaminant algae to grow and compete for nutrients. Therefore, we advise starting your culture with no more than 250 mL growth medium per large algae jar, or 100 mL for a small algae jar. Place this near to a light source.
If your algae settles to the bottom then it should be agitated once per day by swirling, or an aquarium pump to continuously agitate it.
Allow the algae to thicken before adding more medium.
