M9 medium also exists in various flavors:
M9-glu contains glucose: In the basic recipe take 800 ml sterile water and supplement with 100 ml 20% (w:v) sterile filtered glucose before adding M9 salts, magnesium and calcium salts.
M9-CA contains casamino acids: In the basic recipe take 800 ml sterile water and supplement with 100 ml 10% (w:v) autoclaved casamino acids (in water) before adding M9 salts, magnesium and calcium salts.
M9-CAglu contains both: In the basic recipe take 700 ml sterile water and supplement with 100 ml 20% glucose and 100 ml casamino acids before adding M9 salts, magnesium and calcium salts.
