I might have some information about the culture of Legionella, the only
problem is with the codes for the agar medium, since I work in France I do
not know if the following is going to make sense for you.
The medium to be used is:
Agar BCYE alpha.
Composition: yeast extract, activited coal, PH solution (ACES/KOH),
pyrophosphate of Iron III, chlorhydrate of Cysteine and alphacetoglutarate
(2-oxo-glutarate). Cysteine and Iron III are indispensable elements. The
incubation is done in humide atmsophere and under CO2 (2.5%). Small bacteria
colonies will appear after 2 to 5 days.
I hope this will help.
Bye for now.
