The names of all media used to maintain strains at CCAP are given below, listed alphabetically under the acronyms used in the "Culture" section of the strain data. Combinations of basic media used at CCAP are given in the form JM:SE with the major component given first, and are included alphabetically in the recipe list. Biphasic media are given in the form PJ/NN with the liquid component given first (but note that f/2 and SNA/5 are not biphasic media).  The recipes below are in pdf format.
