摘要

Abstract

Axenic microalgal strains are highly valued in diverse microalgal studies and applications. Antibiotics

alone or in combination

are often used to avoid bacterial contamination during microalgal isolation and culture. In our preliminary trials

we found that many microalgae ceased growing in antibiotics at extremely high concentrations but could resume growth quickly when returned to an antibiotics-free liquid medium and formed colonies when spread on a solid medium. We developed a simple and highly efficient method of obtaining axenic microalgal cultures based on this observation. First

microalgal strains of different species or strains were treated with a mixture of ampicillin

gentamycin sulfate

kanamycin

neomycin and streptomycin (each at a concentration of 600 mg/L) for 3 days; they were then transferred to antibiotics-free medium for 5 days; and finally they were spread on solid f/2 media to allow algal colonies to form. With this method

five strains of Nannochloropsis sp. (Eustigmatophyceae)

two strains of Cylindrotheca sp. (Bacillariophyceae)

two strains of Tetraselmis sp. (Chlorodendrophyceae) and one strain of Amphikrikos sp. (Trebouxiophyceae) were purified successfully. The method shows promise for batch-purifying microalgal cultures.
