Transferred 1mL of the culture to a 50mL conical containing 4mL of 1x Marine Broth and a couple crystals of biphenyl. Kept the cap loosened and incubated at 20C with shaking at 200RPM. Kept the existing culture in the incubator as well. No apparent growth.
Rehydrated ATCC isolate according to directions. Added 5mL of 1x Marine Broth to a glass culture tube. Used 1mL of this to rehydrate ATCC sample and then added back into the culture tube. Added a few crystals of biphenyl, which had been exposed to UV for ~5mins prior. Incubated at 20C, no shaking. This was done at ~11:30AM.
