Add dH
2O to final volume and autoclave.
Note: 4.4 L of DM makes 8 bottles with 550 ml each.
Note: If using Potassium phosphate (dibasic) trihydrate (MW 228.22) use 7g per L
After autoclaving add the following stock solutions:

And supplement with a carbon source.
If preparing DM-glucose (MW 180.16 g/mol), add this volume of
