Nah, won't be that easy...  But you might want to consider using one of the minimal mediums that plant tissue culture people use...  Basically Glucose or sucrose plus N/P/K and some other trace minerals.  MS medium is a good place to start.  Do keep us informed of your progress.

1. Murashige & Skoog medium (MS) (Table 5) was supplied with antibiotics (50 ppm streptomycin and ampicillin, 5 ppm benomyl) and then sterile filtered (0.2 um Sartorius cellulose acetate filter). MS was then mixed with an autoclaved agar solution (final agar concentration 1.2%) with 0.05% activated charcoal (to adsorb toxic compounds in autoclaved agar), before addition to 9-cm petri dishes.

2. Modified Fries medium (MFM) (Table 5) was sterile filtered and mixed with autoclaved agar without activated charcoal. As a precaution, activated charcoal was added on top of the agar surface.
