DSMZ 1011c . DESULFOTHERMUS MJ MEDIUM (H2/CO2)

What is this page?
* Medium for Sulfurovum aggregans DSM 27205

Supplement medium with 1.00 g/l NaNO3 and omit pyruvate, lactate, yeast extract and dithionite. Upon autoclaving add 10.00 g/l sterile sulfur powder (sterilized by steaming for 3 hours on each of 3 successive days) and adjust pH to 6.0 - 6.5. After inoculation do not pressurize with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture and add sterile air in an amount that is equivalent to a volume of 10% of the headspace.


Growth conditions: 2-3 days microaerobic 32 °C
Equipment needed: Autoclave Filter Gassing station Hungate tubes

Final gas composition: 73 % H2 18 % CO2 7 % N2 2 % O2 read more

Final pH: * 6.0 - 6.5

1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, pyruvate, lactate, yeast extract, thiosulfate, vitamins and dithionite), then sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials up to a volume of 20% and autoclave. Add pyruvate, lactate, yeast extract, thiosulfate and vitamins to the autoclaved medium from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate and dithionite from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Solutions of vitamins, thiosulfate and dithionite are sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 6.7.
2 After inoculation pressurize vessels to 2 bar overpressure with sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture.

1 First dissolve nitrilotriacetic acid and adjust pH to 6.5 with KOH, then add minerals. Adjust final to pH 7.0 with KOH.

Na-dithionite solution (5% w/v) #

1000
Compound Amount Unit
NaHCO3 50 g
Na2S2O4 50 g
Distilled water 1000 ml
1 Dissolve NaHCO3 in water and make the solution anoxic by sparging with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Then dissolve the Na-dithionite and filter sterilize the solution into anoxic Hungate tubes. Store the prepared solution in the dark and refrigerated. Prepare only small amounts of stock solution, as Na-dithionite decomposes rapidly.
