Application Notes
f/2 Guillard’s Marine Enriched Seawater is a powder formulation of the vitamins, macro- and trace-element solutions to be dissolved in seawater (S7650). This formulation utilizes EDTA and Ferric Chloride in molar equivalents (NCMA, Guillard and Ryther 1962). This medium DOES NOT contain silicate, so it can be used to for axenic maintenance of NON-diatom marine phytoplankton.
Species documented to be grown in f/2 without silicate: Symbiodinium (Mays & Kempf, 2014)
To make 1L of medium: Dissolve 0.10 g in 0.99L of seawater (S7650) and adjust the pH to the desired range using HCl or KOH. The original formulation, according to Guillard, used a pH of 7.2 +/- 0.1 (Guillard, 1962). Bring the final volume to 1.0L with seawater and autoclave the medium.
