title: Two simple media for biochemical experimentation with cultured procyclic Trypanosoma brucei.
abstract: Two simple media are presented which are particularly well suited for biochemical experimentation with procyclic culture forms of Trypanosoma brucei. ME-83 is a simple semi-defined medium which supports active cell growth, and from which individual components can conveniently be deleted or replaced. HHP-84 is a fully defined minimal medium, which allows vigorous cell motility over extended times, but in which cell proliferation is not occurring.
