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 #3 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. Aseptically transfer the rehydrated pellet back into the broth tube. Mix well.
  4. Use several drops of this suspension to inoculate an additional broth tube, a #3 agar slant and/or a plate.
  5. Incubate the tubes and plate at 37°C for 24 hours.
Handling notes

This strain produces two types of diffusible pigment that may mask each other:

  1. Fluorescein: diffusible, green or yellow-green in color, and exhibits fluorescence with short-wave UV light (254 nm). Production is enhanced by growth in an iron-deficient medium.
  2. Pyocyanine: diffusible, blue, a chloroform-soluble pigment characteristic of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Incubate in the dark as broad-spectrum light may inactivate this pigment.

 

The basic requirements for pigment production are not well known, and thus color production by the pseudomonads has been an erratic property that may be lost with repeated subculturing. However, this strain has remained stable.
