1 Solution A is sparged with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to reach a pH of around 6, then distributed under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes and autoclaved.
2 Solutions B, D, E, G, and H are autoclaved separately under 100% N2 gas. Solution C is autoclaved under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Solution F is prepared under 100% N2 gas and sterilized by filtration. To complete the medium appropriate amounts of solutions B to H are added to the sterile solution A in the sequence as indicated. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.6, if necessary.
3 Note: Addition of 10 - 20 mg sodium dithionite per liter (e.g. from 5% (w/v) solution freshly prepared under N2 and filter-sterilized) just before inoculation may stimulate growth at the beginning. For transfers use 5 - 10% inoculum.
4 Cultures of Desulfonema spp. show usually improved growth in media containing an artificial light sediment of aluminum phosphate. Alternatively, a viscous medium prepared with 1 - 2 g washed agar per liter can be used (Widdel et al., Arch. Microbiol. 134:286-294 (1983)): Agar (Difco) is washed three times for one hour with distilled water at room temperature. Finally, the agar is suspended (c. 20.0 g/l) in distilled water and autoclaved. 50 ml of the hot agar is added to the hot sterile medium part A (when preparing part A calculated for 1 liter, subtract the volume of the agar solution). After cooling to room temperature complete the medium by adding part B to I. For mass cultures the aluminum phosphate as artificial sediment can be used.

1 First dissolve FeCl2 in the HCl, then dilute in water, add and dissolve the other salts. Finally make up to 1000.00 ml.

Clarified rumen fluid #

1000
Solution occurs in 28 other media (first defined in Medium 1310).
1 Rumen fluid from cow or sheep (obtained from fistulated animals or abattoir refuse) is filtered through muslin, autoclaved at 121°C for 15 min and then centrifuged at 27,000 g for 20 min. The supernatant is made anoxic by sparging with 100% N2 gas for 15 min, dispensed under same gas atmosphere into anoxic serum vials to 30% of volume and then stored frozen at -20°C.
