Acanthamoeba castellanii trophozoites
were cultured at room temperature in peptone yeast
glucose (PYG) 712 medium (20 g proteose peptone (BD, Sparks, USA),
1 g of yeast extract (BD, Sparks, USA), 950 mL of distilled water,
10 mL of 0.4 M MgSO4·7H2O (AppliChem, Darmstadt,
Germany), 8 mL of 0.05 M CaCl2 (AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany),
34 mL of 0.1 M sodium citrate·2H2O (Merck, Darmstadt,
Germany), 10 mL of 0.005 M Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2·6H2O (AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany), 10
mL of 0.25 M Na2HPO4·7H2O (Roth,
Karlsruhe, Germany), 10 mL of 0.25 M KH2PO4 (Roth,
Karlsruhe, Germany), and 50 mL of 2 M glucose (Sigma–Aldrich
Chemie GmbH, Steinheim, Germany)). The PYG medium was exchanged at
least once a week to avoid cyst formation. Acanthamoebae were detached from the culture flask by slight knocking, collected
with a pipet and centrifuged. The generated pellet was resuspended
in PYG medium and the cell number was counted using a Neubauer counting
chamber.

A. castellanii (ATTC® 30234, derived from ATCC® 30011) and A. comandoni (Pb30/40, group 1, genotype T7 [7 ]) were cultured at room temperature in tissue culture bottles (75 ml, Sarstedt AG & Co., Nümbrecht, Germany). A Peptone Yeast Glucose (PYG) Medium 712 consisting of 20 g proteose peptone (BD, Sparks, USA), 1 g yeast extract (BD, Sparks, USA), 950 ml distilled water, 8 ml 0.05 M CaCl2 (AppliChem GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany), 10 ml 0.4 M MgSO4 × 7H2O (AppliChem GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany), 10 ml 0.25 M Na2HPO4 × 7H2O (Carl Roth GmbH & Co. KG, Karlsruhe, Germany), 10 ml 0.25 M KH2PO4 (Carl Roth GmbH & Co. KG, Karlsruhe, Germany), 34 ml 0.1 M Na citrate × 2H2O (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany), 10 ml 0.005 M Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 × 6H2O (AppliChem GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany), and 50 ml 2 M glucose (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Munich, Germany)) was used. The medium was renewed once a week by shaking the bottles, removing the old medium with swimming acanthamoebae, and adding fresh medium to the remaining cells.

Culturing A. castellanii Trophozoites in PYG Medium

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trophozoites of A. castellanii (ATTC 30234) were cultured at room temperature in Peptone Yeast Glucose (PYG) 712 medium (20.0 g proteose peptone (BD, Sparks, USA), 1.00 g yeast extract (BD, Sparks, USA), 950 mL distilled water, 10.0 mL 0.4 M MgSO4·7H2O (AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany), 8.00 mL 0.05 M CaCl2 (AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany), 34.0 mL 0.1 M sodium citrate dihydrate (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), 10.0 mL 0.005 M (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2·6H2O (AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany), 10.0 mL 0.25 M Na2HPO4·7H2O (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany), 10.0 mL 0.25 M KH2PO4 (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany), 50.0 mL 2 M glucose (Sigma–Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Steinheim, Germany)). In this axenic culture, the PYG 712 medium was regularly exchanged in the cell culture flasks in order to avoid an encystment of A. castellanii trophozoites.

Example 1

Acanthamoeba were cultured according to Gutekunst et al. (Beilstein J Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 1393-1398). In brief, trophozoites of Acanthamoeba castellanii (A. castellanii, ATTC 30234) were cultured at room temperature in Peptone Yeast Glucose (PYG) 712 medium (20.0 g proteose peptone (BD, Sparks, USA), 1.00 g yeast extract (BD, Sparks, USA), 950 mL dist. H2O, 10.0 mL 0.40 M MgSO4.7H2O (AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany), 8.00 mL 0.05 M CaCl2 (AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany), 34.0 mL 0.10 M sodium citrate.2H2O (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), 10.0 mL 5.00 mM Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O (AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany), 10.0 mL 0.25 M Na2HPO4.7H2O (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany), 10.0 mL 0.25 M KH2PO4 (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany), 50.0 mL 2.00 M glucose (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Steinheim, Germany)). In this axenic culture, the PYG 712 medium was regularly exchanged in the cell culture flasks in order to avoid encystment of A. castellanii trophozoites.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
