F/2 medium for many marine protists


To 1l of autoclaved sea water add:

NaNO3*         (75.0 g/l)                    1.0 ml
NaH2PO4*       ( 5.0 g/l)                    1.0 ml
F/2 trace elements*                          1.0 ml
F/2 vitamins*  (steril-filtered)             0.5 ml

F/2 trace elements (steril-filtered): Na2EDTA* (4.36 g/l) FeCL3x6H2O* (3.15 g/l) 1ml of CuSO4x5H2O* (0.98 g/100ml) 1ml of ZnSO4x7H2O* (2.20 g/100ml) 1ml of CoCl2x6H2O* (1.0 g/100ml) 1ml of MnCl2x4H2O* (1.80 g/100ml) 1ml of NaMoO4x2H20* (0.63 g/100ml)
F/2 vitamins (steril-filtered): biotin* (0.1 mg/100ml) B12* (0.1 mg/100ml) thiamine HCL* (20 mg/100ml)

In order to obtain high cell yields, buffering with HEPES is strongly recommended.

HEPES buffer: stock of 1M, adjusted to pH 7.5, end concentration in medium should be about 10-20 mM.
