ISP Medium No
This medium provides consistent and reproducible characteristic features of Streptomyces. Glycerol serves as the carbon source while asparagine is the amino acid source for the growth of Streptomyces species. Trace mineral requirement of Streptomyces is satisfied by the trace salt solution, which contains various salts. Dipotassium phosphate buffers the medium.
5 (Glycerol Asparagine Agar Base) is based on the formulation described by Shirling and Gottlieb and is used for cultivation and characterization of Streptomyces species as recommended by the International Streptomyces Project. Being primarily soil inhabitants, Streptomyces are most commonly limited to causing actinomycotic mycetoma. Areas more prone to formation of mycetomas are those that are frequently traumatized or that come into contact with soil.
