The goal is to select a bacteria able to develop on 2-nonenal. We made 2 new media:


1) M9 Minimal Media 100% Glucose

  • 200mL M9 Salts
  • 0.1mL CaCl2 1M
  • 2mL MgSO4 1M
  • 20mL Glucose 20%
  • Water: bring to 1L

2) M9 Minimal Media 50% Glucose - 50% 2-Nonenal (according to the number of carbon atoms)

  • 200mL M9 Salts
  • 0.1mL CaCl2 1M
  • 2mL MgSO4 1M
  • 10mL Glucose 20%
  • 10mL 2-nonenal 10,7%*
  • Water: bring to 1L

3) M9 Minimal Media 100% 2-nonenal

  • 200mL M9 Salts
  • 0.1mL CaCl2 1M
  • 2mL MgSO4 1M
  • 20mL 2-nonenal 10,7%*
  • Water: bring to 1L

We autoclaved 6 bottles (2 of 500mL for each)

Then, we made liquid culture of C.striatum in media 1) to try if the minima media works.


* Concentration of the 2-nonenal solution: In M9 Media, we use 20mL of Glucose 20% (200g/L). The concentration of glucose is C=200/M=1.09 mol/L. Glucose has 6 carbons while 2-nonenal has 9, so we need 2/3 of the glucose volume to have the same amount of carbon atoms. C=2/3*1.09=0.74 mol/L and then 0.74*M=103.7g/L. That's why the concentration of the 2-nonenal solution is 10.73%. We also added Tween80.
