Bacterial Cultures
Risk Group 1 (low risk) bacterial cultures are suitable for use in school PC1 laboratories. These strains represent a variety of morphologies, temperature sensitivities, antibiotic resistance and nutritional requirements.
BC-BS, Bacillus subtilis
BC-BT, Bacillus thuringiensis
BC-CF, Citrobacter freundii
BC-EC, Escherichia coli (several strains)
BC-PF, Pseudomonas fluorescens
BC-SL, Sarcina lutea (Micrococcus lutea)
BC-SE, Staphylococcus epidermidis (albus)
Cultures are shipped as 10 ml broths.
Further information regarding 'Low Risk' organisms, PC1 and safety considerations can be found in the pdf to the left entitled Safety in Laboratories-Working Microbiologically. This document also outlines important information regarding laboratories where genetic manipulation (such as bacterial transformation) takes place.
