Description

The WC (Wright Chu) medium is a commonly used fully-defined medium for culturing of limnic algae. It was first described by Guillard & Lorenzen[1], and the most-commonly used recipe includes modifications as reported by Makulla[2].

Recipe

Dissolve TES buffer in Type I purified water (e.g., Milli-Q) using a magnetic stirrer and add 1 mL/L of stock solutions and trace metals in numerical order (1–7). Autoclave appropriately and add 1 mL/L vitamins (8) through a sterile 0.22 μm polystyrene (PES) filter once cooled down to room temperature.
