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

Official DSMZ medium: This medium was manually curated by experts from the DSMZ.

Culture medium recipe

Vol.
×
* Modified 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.

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 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.
