Culture Establishment Instructions:

Liquid Culture:

It is recommended to aliquot 1 mL of primary culture into a sterile transparent tube with an aeration cap and mix thoroughly with 1 mL of fresh medium for culturing. Place the tube in an incubator or environment under the recommended conditions stated above. Swirl the culture tube daily to resuspend the settled algal cells. The colour of the culture should turn green within 1 week.

*Algal cells may adhere to the walls of the culture tube; this is normal and will not affect culture quality.

Agar Plate:

Prepare 1 mL of fresh culture medium and transfer it into a sterile transparent tube with an aeration cap. Use a sterile toothpick or inoculating loop to pick a single algal colony from the agar plate and inoculate it thoroughly into the medium. Place the tube in an incubator or environment under the recommended conditions stated above. Swirl the culture tube daily to resuspend the settled algal cells. The colour of the culture should turn green within 1 week.
