Temperature
37°C
Atmosphere
95% Air, 5% CO2
Handling procedure
Open vial according to enclosed instructions
Using a single tube of #814 broth (5 to 6 mL), withdraw approximately 0.5 to 1.0 mL with a Pasteur or 1.0 mL pipette. Rehydrate pellet.
Aseptically transfer this aliquot back into the broth tube. Mix well.
Use several drops of the suspension to inoculate a #814 agar slant and/or plate.
Incubate the tubes and plate under an atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37°C for 24-48 hours.
Handling notes
Brain Heart Infusion (Difco 237500) can be used to rehydrate vial contents if #814 broth is not available, but it will not support growth as well as the GC broth.
Additional information on this culture is available on the ATCC® web site at www.atcc.org.
