R2
R2 is a medium developed for actinorhodin production from Streptomyces coelicolor, note the blue pigmentation in the right image of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). This blue colour is due to the overproduction of redox active antibiotic actinorhodin.
Preparation
Make up the following solution:
- 103 g Sucrose
- 0.25 g K2SO4
- 10.12 g MgCl2.6H2O
- 10 g Glucose
- 0.1 g Difco Casaminoacids
- 800 ml dH2O
Pour 80 ml of the solution into 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks each containing 2.2 g Difco Bacto agar. Sterilise by autoclaving. At the time of use, remelt the medium and add to each flask the following autoclaved solutions in the order listed:
- 1 ml KH2PO4 (0.5%)
- 8 ml CaCl2.2H2O (3.68%)
- 1.5 ml L-proline (20%)
- 10 ml TES buffer (5.73%, adjusted to pH7.2)
- 0.2 ml Trace element solution
- 0.5 ml NaOH (1N) (unsterilised is okay)
- 0.75 ml Required growth factors for auxotrophs
Uses
- Protoplasts regeneration
Notes
Streptomyces clavuligerus does not utilise glucose and it must be substituted by glycerol.
