Media Used for Enrichment of Soil Protists
摘要
The enrichment of protists highly depends upon the chemical composition of the synthetic medium next to the temperature. It affects growth and reproduction of protists. Therefore, to study the basic life traits such as growth rate and/or interspecies interaction coefficient of different species, standardized media should be used. Many types of media have been used to enrich protists which can be classified as chemically well-defined media and less-defined organic media. Here, we described the five different media which are commonly used to enrich different types of protists.
