1 Sparge solution A with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Adjust pH to 6.4 and dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials 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. Solutions D, E and F are autoclaved separately under 100% N2 gas. To complete the medium add appropriate amounts of solutions B - F to the sterile solution A in the sequence as indicated. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 6.4 - 6.8, if necessary.
2 Note: Rumen fluid may be replaced by supplementing the medium with 200 µg/ml of crude egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (SIGMA, type IX-E).

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.
