Wood Flour Media

Ingredients:
– 75 g of wood flour
– 40 g of agar
– 500 mL of DI water
– 0.35 g of Streptomycin

Instructions:
Mix the wood flour, agar, and DI water into an autoclave safe media container. Set the autoclave to 121° C for 30 minutes. Once out of the autoclave, put the container in a hot water bath until it has cooled to 50-55° C. Put the Streptomycin in the media and mix. The media will solidify rapidly so be ready to pour it into plates or tubes once out of the water bath. Scarp the media when it has solidified to make it more habitable to the beetles.
