3. Grain medium for microorganism
Other than potatoes, grains are another excellent ingredient in culturing
microbes. To grow many different microbes, you need medium that contains
many different nutrients. If you cook rice using brown rice and other mixed
grains, it will be wonderfully rich in nutrients. It is the best medium for grow-
ing microbes. Prepare so that brown rice is 7 parts and other grains 3 parts. You
can buy mixed grains from the market. ere are many cheap ones. e nutri-
ents in the grains must be easily absorbable by the microbes if propagation is to
speed up. Leave the grains in water before cooking for 1-2 hours; when cooking
add a lot of water. If the dry grains weighed 0.5 kg (1.1 lb), add equivalent
amount of water so that end-product weighs about 1 kg (2.2 lb). Use this as
To store the medium, blend the mixed
grains, add 5 L (1.3 gal) of water and
boil. Do not use pressure pots. 
Pour into heat-resistant bottles while
boiling; tightly seal; store in cool place.

medium to make 500 L (132 gal) of JMS. Potatoes are easy to dissolve into

Easy method would be to add some water to the cooked grains and grind with
an electric blender. And then, put it in cotton bag and knead it out into water.
Don’t worry about C/N ratio. It works well.
