Product ID
B1675
Bold's Basal Medium (BBM) is a freshwater algae medium that has been used to grow a variety of green algal cultures (e.g. Trichosarcina, Chlorococcum, and Chlorella) without the need for soil-extract or vitamins (Brown et al., 1964; Nichols and Bold, 1965). The predominantly inorganic nature of this medium facilitates itself as an axenic-culture maintenance medium (Nichols and Bold, 1965).
