1 Dissolve ingredients (except cysteine, carbonate, cellobiose and sulfide), bring medium to the boil, then cool to room temperature under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture and add cysteine. Dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add sulfide from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Sterilize cellobiose separately by filtration under 100% N2 gas. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.0, if necessary. | |||||
2 Note: Some strains can be adapted to cellulose as substrate using 10.0 g/l cellulose powder MN 301 (MACHEREY-NAGEL). |

1 Add 0.4% yeast extract to sludge from an anaerobic digester, and after gassing with nitrogen gas for a few minutes incubate it at 37°C for 24 hours. Then centrifuge the sludge at 13000 g and autoclave the resulting, clear supernatant in screw-capped vessels under nitrogen gas. The sludge fluid can be stored at 8-12°C in the dark. |
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. |
