2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (mw: 195.24 g/mol)1.95 g0.01 M
  1. Prepare 800 mL of distilled water in a suitable container.
  2. Add 23.4 g of Sodium chloride to the solution.
  3. Add 26.4 g of Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate to the solution.
  4. Add 5.4 g of Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate to the solution.
  5. Add 11.9 g of Potassium Chloride to the solution.
  6. Add 0.3 g of Calcium Chloride to the solution.
  7. Add 1.95 g of 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid to the solution.
  8. Add distilled water until the volume is 1 L.
  9. Adjust the pH to 6.5. Filter through a 0.2-µm filter and store at 4°C. Just before use, add 1% (w/v) cellulose (Sigma) and 3 U/mL alginate lyase (Boyen et al. 1990).
