1 Sparge solution A with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, distribute under same gas atmosphere 8.9 ml medium per Hungate-type tube and autoclave. Solution B is autoclaved separately under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Solution C is prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and sterilized by filtration. Autoclave solutions D and E under 100% N2 gas. To complete the medium add appropriate amounts of the solutions B to E to the sterile solution A. Adjust pH of complete medium to 7.0 - 7.2, if necessary.

Clarified rumen fluid #

1000
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.
