Medium for Treponema ruminis DSM 103462

* Modification: Replace the sugar mix of solution E with the sugar mix of medium 110a. Omit solution C, solution D, and solution H. After inoculation, add a sterile gas mixture of 80% H2 and 20% CO2 to an overpressure of 0.5 bar.

Growth conditions: 1-2 days anaerobic 37 °C

1 Add and dissolve ingredients of solution A, adjust pH to 7.0, and sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Solution B is prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere and autoclaved. Solutions C, D, and H are autoclaved under a 100% N2 gas atmosphere. Solutions E, F, G, and I are prepared under 100% N2 gas and sterilized by filtration. To complete the medium appropriate amounts of solutions B to I are added to the sterile solution A in the sequence as indicated.
2 Note: Some cultures are shipped in semi-solid medium which stimulates growth at the beginning. For agar stabs 3.00 g/l agar are added to the complete medium from a sterile anoxic stock solution (2% w/v). Upon receipt add anoxically 1 - 2 ml of the recommended freshly prepared liquid medium to the agar tube and incubate for 3 - 5 days . After incubation transfer 0.5 ml of the resulting cell suspension in the liquid phase to tubes with liquid medium.
