Official DSMZ medium: This medium was manually curated by experts from the DSMZ.
* Modification: Omit ethanol and add to the autoclaved medium 2.5 g/l Na2S2O3 x 5 H2O from an anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and sterilized by filtration. Increase amount of yeast extract to 2.00 g/l.

1 Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, bicarbonate, ethanol, vitamins and sulfide. Sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add and dissolve carbonates and sulfide while gassing the head space only. Dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Before use add ethanol and vitamins from sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas. Vitamins are sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 9.5 - 10.0, if necessary. |
