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. From a single tube of #18 broth (5 to 6 mL), withdraw approximately 0.5 to 1.0 mL with a Pasteur or 1.0 mL pipette and use to rehydrate the entire pellet.
  3. Transfer the rehydrated pellet back into the broth tube.  Mix well.
  4. Use several drops of the suspension to inoculate a second tube of broth, a slant, and/or a plate.
  5. Incubate all tubes and plates at 37°C for 24 hours.
Handling notes
Certificates of Analysis are available electronically at www.atcc.org, or by hardcopy upon request.

Two colony types may be observed.  They have been individually characterized and found to be the same.  The predominant type is flat with a spreading edge and rough surface.  The secondary type is small and compact.  To prevent the proliferation of the second colony type, avoid passing this strain through broth for subsequent transfers.  It is recommended to wash the slant with phosphate buffer and use that to inoculate further agar plates and/or agar flasks, if needed.  This strain produces both fluorescein and pyocyanin pigments.
