Documentation

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.

Handling procedure
1. Open vial according to enclosed instructions. 

2. Under anaerobic conditions (see below), withdraw 0.5 ml of the recommended broth from a single tube (5 to 6 ml) and rehydrate the entire vial contents.  The medium should be fresh and/or pre-reduced (see anaerobic conditions below).

3. Aseptically transfer this aliquot back into the broth tube.  A slant may be inoculated with 0.1 ml of the cell suspension.  Also, streak a blood agar plate to check for purity.

4. Incubate tubes and under anaerobic conditions at 37oC.  Incubate a plate under aerobic conditions at 37oC to test for aerobic contamination.

5. Within 24 hours growth is evident by good turbidity.  The culture may need to be examined by phase microscopy since the broth is often initially cloudy.  There should be no growth on the aerobic plate.

Resolution: 1000X

ANAEROBIC CONDITIONS:  

·   Tubes of media are placed under a gassing cannula system hooked to a source of oxygen free gas.

·   All transfers are performed while the test tubes are on the cannula system with a gentle stream of oxygen free gas flowing through the system.

·   As the test tubes are removed from the cannula system each is sealed with butyl rubber stopper thus maintaining the anaerobic headspace.  100% nitrogen or 80% nitrogen-20% carbon dioxide gas mixture is typically employed as the oxygen free gas source.

·   Resazurin is a commonly used redox indicator that is pink when the redox potential is above –50 mv., and colorless when the redox potential is below –110 mv. i.e. highly reducing.  Most strict anaerobes require this low redox potential for optimum growth.

Handling notes

 

          Once growth has been established, the culture should be transferred every 1 or 2 days.  The culture will remain viable for 1 week if stored at 4oC under anaerobic conditions.

          Additional information on this culture is available on the ATCC web site at www.atcc.org.
