We checked the composition of Vogel-Bonner media and other media and salts in our publication (https://doi.org/10.21769/BioProtoc.2763) and found some mistakes in the units. New, correct units are as follows (in bold):

Recipes

   Sodium ammonium phosphate (NaNH4HPO4•4H2O)	87.5 g

   1. Salts are added to the warm water in a flask. Place the flask on a hot plate 
   2. After each salt dissolves entirely, transfer the solution into glass bottles and autoclave for 20 min at 121 °C 
   3. When the solution gets cool, cap the bottle tightly 
   4. Store the solution at 4 °C

3. Salt solution (1.65 M KCl + 0.4 M MgCl₂)
   For S9 hepatic fraction
   

   Ingredients	Per 250 ml
   Potassium chloride (KCl)	30.75 g
   Magnesium chloride (MgCl2•6H2O)	20.35 g
   Distilled H2O to final concentration of	250 ml

   All the components are dissolved in water. The solution is autoclaved for 20 min, at 121 °C and then stored in refrigerator.
   
4. 0.2 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4
   For S9 hepatic fraction
   

   Ingredients	Per 250 ml
   0.2 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4•H2O)	30 ml (6.9 g/250 ml)
   0.2 M disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4)	220 ml (7.1 g/250 ml)

   Adjust pH to 7.4. Sterilize the buffer by autoclaving for 20 min at 121 °C
   

6. 1 M glucose-6-phosphate
   For S9 hepatic fraction
   

   Ingredients	Per 5 ml
   Glucose-6-phosphate (G-6-P)	1.41 g
   Sterile distilled H2O	5 ml

   Glucose-6-phosphate is dissolved in the 5 ml distilled water and mixed by vortexing. Tubes are placed in an ice bath. The solution can be used for up to six months
7. Ampicillin solution (4 mg/ml)

   Master plates for R-factor strains
   

   Ingredients	Per 500 ml
   Ampicillin trihydrate	0.4 g
   Sodium hydroxide (0.02 N)	50 ml

   Ampicillin trihydrate is dissolved in the 50 ml of NaOH (0.02 N) and mixed by vortexing. Tubes are placed in an ice bath
8. Crystal violet solution (0.1%)
   Used in tests for crystal violet sensitivity (to confirm rfa mutation)
   

   Ingredients	Per 500 ml
   Crystal violet	0.05 g
   Distilled H2O	50 ml

9. Minimal glucose plates
   Used in Mutagenic bioassay
   

   Ingredients	Per 500 ml
   Agar	7.5 g
   Distilled H2O	465 ml
   50x VB salts (Recipe 1)	10 ml
   40% glucose	25 ml

   Add agar in 465 ml of distilled water and autoclave for 20 min, at 121 °C. After cooling, add the salts and glucose gently
   
10. Histidine/Biotin plates (Master plates for non R-factor strains)
    Used in tests for histidine requirement
    

    Ingredients	Per 500 ml
    Agar	7.5 g
    Distilled H2O	457 ml
    50x VB salts	10 ml
    40% glucose	25 ml
    Sterile histidine (2 g per 400 ml H2O)	5 ml
    Sterile 0.5 mM biotin	3 ml

    Dissolve agar in the given concentration in distilled water. Autoclave each solution separately for 20 min. After cooling of solution, add each salt gently
    
11. Ampicillin and tetracycline* plates
    Master plates for the cultivation of strains containing the plasmids pKM101 and pAQ1*
    

    Ingredients	Per 500 ml
    Agar	7.5 g
    Distilled H2O	405 ml
    50x VB salts	10 ml
    40% glucose	25 ml
    Sterile histidine (2 g per 400 ml H2O)	5 ml
    Sterile 0.5 mM biotin	3 ml
    Sterile ampicillin solution (4 mg/ml 0.02 N NaOH)	1.58 ml
    *Sterile tetracycline solution (4 mg/ml 0.02 N HCl)	0.125 ml

    Dissolve agar in the given concentration in distilled water. Autoclave each solution separately for 20 min. After cooling of solution, add each salt gently
    *Note: TA 102 is resistant to tetracycline. The shelf life of the plates is two weeks at 4 °C.
    
12. Nutrient agar plates
