The medium given below can be made with either artificial seawater or natural seawater.

Artificial Seawater

Make two separate solutions: Solution I and Solution II. Add salts in order to distilled
deionized water (DDW). When the salts in each are completely dissolved mix
solutions together. Dilute to total volume with DDW.

Enrichment stocks can be refrigerated. Adjust Solution #5 to pH 6 using solid NaCO₃ (about 2 g). Solution # 4 can be heated to dissolve the iron.

Notes:

* Can be replaced with an equimolar stock of Na₂HPO₄
** Add before the trace metals.
*** Can be replaced with an equimolar stock of FeCl₃

Vitamin stocks should be stored frozen.

TO MAKE 1 LITRE OF HESNW

1) Filter natural seawater through 0.45 µm membrane filter with a glass fiber prefilter.

2) Use a flask that has been acid-washed in 10% HCl and rinsed in distilled water before first use.

3) Pour 1 L filtered seawater or artificial seawater into flask. Add the following while mixing with a stir-bar:

a) 6 ml Combined Stock (Enrichment stocks #1,2,4-7)
(OR 1 ml of each individual stock solution)
b) 2 ml Silica Stock (Enrichment stock #3)
c) 2 ml Vitamin Stock

4) To reduce precipitation during autoclaving add:

d) 1.44 ml of 1N HCl
e) 0.12 g Sodium bicarbonate

5) Autoclave 20 minutes for one litre, ~ 30 minutes for 2 litres. Autoclaving for longer periods will result in more precipitation. Flasks should not be filled up more than 2/3 of their capacity, to avoid boiling over during sterilization.

6) Let stand for 2 days to allow pH to equilibrate (should be ~ pH 8.2).

7) Filter aseptically through a glass fiber filter to remove precipitate. Some taxa appear to be sensitive to it (optional).
