Preparation Note

Suspend 10.52 g of Decarboxylase Broth Base in 1000 ml of distilled water. Add 10 g of either L-Arginine (Cat. No. 11010), or L-Lysine (Cat. No. 62840), or L-Ornithine (Cat. No. 75470). Heat to dissolve the medium completely. When L-ornithine is added, readjust the pH. Dispense in 5 ml quantities in screwcapped tubes. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs. pressure (121°C) for 10 minutes.
