Microalgae, brown algae, and marine microorganism culture
Seawater-based media and isolation of marine strains
THE SITUATION AND THE PAIN POINTS
Marine microorganisms and microalgae need salinity and a mineral profile close to seawater, which general media cannot provide; research on the symbionts and degraders associated with brown algae and microalgae also needs matching isolation media.
OUR APPROACH
Marine Agar and Marine Broth 2216 are the standard formulations for isolating and culturing marine bacteria, with a salt profile close to seawater; combined with the AlgaPro range they support heterotrophic microalgae. STBIO can also develop dedicated formulations for specific algal species or marine strains on request.

Frequently asked questions
01Can Marine Broth be prepared with tap water?
Use purified water. The formulation already contains the salts of seawater; tap water adds chlorine and minerals that hurt reproducibility.
