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. Under anaerobic conditions, withdraw 0.5 ml of the appropriate medium from a single test tube (5 to 6 ml) and rehydrate the vial contents.
3. Aseptically transfer this aliquot back into the broth tube. Additional tubes and an anaerobic Tryptic Soy Agar plate may be inoculated with 0.5 ml each from the suspension. Streak onto a blood plate and incubate aerobically to check for purity.
4. Incubate tubes and #18 plate under an anaerobic atmosphere at 55oC.
ANAEROBIC CONDITIONS:
· Tubes of media are placed under a gassing cannula system hooked to a source of oxygen-free gas.
· All transfers are performed while the test tubes are on the cannula system with a gentle stream of oxygen free gas flowing through the system.
· As the test tubes are removed from the cannula system each is sealed with butyl rubber stopper thus maintaining the anaerobic headspace. A 100% nitrogen or 80% nitrogen-20% carbon dioxide gas mixture is typically employed as the oxygen-free gas source.
· Resazurin is a commonly used redox indicator that is pink when the redox potential is above 50 mv., and colorless when the redox potential is below 110 mv. i.e. highly reducing. Most strict anaerobes require this low redox potential for optimum growth.
- Handling notes
-
In 24-48 hours, growth is evident by turbidity. The most rapid growth is obtained when the culture is incubated at 65oC but the cells tend to die more rapidly at this temperature. Good growth may also be obtained when the culture is incubated at 55oC. The culture tends to stay viable for a longer period of time. Once growth has been obtained, the culture should be transferred every 24 to 48 hours. Cells are Gram positive rods that occur singly and in pairs.
