BAM Media M72: Koser's Citrate Broth

January 2001

NaNH4HPO4·4H2O 1.5 g
KH2PO4 (monobasic) 1 g
MgSO4·7H2O 0.2 g
Sodium citrate·2H2O 3 g
Distilled water 1 liter

Dispense into screw-cap tubes as desired. Autoclave 15 min at 121°C. Final pH, 6.7 ± 0.2.

It differs from the composition of commercially available dehydrated medium. The latter is satisfactory.
