Documentation

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.

Handling procedure
  1. Open vial according to enclosed instructions.
  2. Using a single tube of #1115 or #177 broth (5 to 6 mL), withdraw approximately 0.5 to 1.0 mL with a Pasteur or 1.0 mL pipette.  Rehydrate the entire pellet.
  3. Aseptically transfer this aliquot back into the broth tube.  Mix well.
  4. Use several drops of the suspension to inoculate a #260 slant, and/or plate.
  5. Or, to obtain a biphasic culture, add 0.5 mL of the suspension to a #260 agar slant (see notes).
  6. Incubate tubes and plate at 37°C under microaerophilic conditions for three to five days.  Use an anaerobe jar with an active catalyst and a microaerophilic gas generator pack, or other acceptable method.  Incubate slant with cap loose. 
Handling notes

Fluid Thioglycollate tube may be incubated aerobically.

This is a slow growing organism that requires moist conditions for best growth.  A biphasic culture will give the most rapid growth.  Growth at the broth/agar interface of the biphasic slant should occur within two to three days, but little turbidity will be seen.  To observe growth, examine a wet mount of the broth under phase microscopy.  Motility is usually observed only in young cultures. 

Growth on agar takes longer than with the biphasic culture.  Once good growth is present, these organisms tend to lose viability, especially if exposed to air for lengthy periods. 

The cells do not Gram stain well using traditional procedures.  To obtain the best results, use a basic fuchsin counterstain in place of the safranin.

Storage at liquid nitrogen temperatures, with 10% sterile glycerol as the cryoprotectant, is recommended for long-term preservation.
