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.
2. Under anaerobic conditions, withdraw 0.5 ml of recommended broth from a single test tube (5 to 6 ml) and rehydrate the vial contents.
3. Aseptically transfer this aliquot back into the broth tube. Additional tubes may be inoculated with 0.5 ml each from the suspension. A slant of #2008 may also be inoculated with 0.1 ml. Streak several blood plates to check for colonial morphology and purity.
4. Incubate tubes under an anaerobic atmosphere at 37oC. Incubate one agar plate anaerobically for colony formation, incubate the second aerobically for an aerobic contamination check.
5. Within 24 to 48 hours, growth should be evident by faint turbidity in the broth tube. Cells in broth appear as spherical to slightly elongated cocci, occurring singly, in pairs, in small clusters and occasionally in short chains of 3 to 6 cells. The anaerobic plate shows colonies that are pinpoint, entire, colorless , and transparent, with no hemolysis. No growth should occur on agar plates incubated aerobically.
ANAEROBIC CONDITIONS:
· To obtain a fully reduced medium, it is necessary that the medium be anoxic and that a reducing agent be added. Common reducing agents are sodium sulfide, cysteine, dithiothreitol, and titanium citrate.
· 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.
