MgSO4 x 7 H2O 6.80 g
CaCl2 x 2 H2O 1.50 g
KCl 0.66 g
KBr 0.09 g
Distilled water 1000.00 ml
1 Prepare the medium anaerobically under an atmosphere of N2:CO2 (8:2 vol:vol) and then add:
NaHCO3
(84 g/l autoclaved under a CO2 atmopshere)
30.00 ml/l
KH2PO4 0.40 g/l
NH4Cl 0.25 g/l
Na2S2O3 0.50 mM
Trace elements 1.00 ml/l
Selenite/tungsate solution 1.00 ml/l
Vitamin solution 1.00 ml/l
Vitamin B12 solution 0.05 g/L 1.00 ml/l
Vitamin B1 solution 0.1 g/L 1.00 ml/l
Acetate 5.00 mM
FeSO4 10.00 mM
2 The pH is adjusted to 6.8
3 To the medium add 5 mM acetate and 10 mM FeSO4 (from a 1 M stock solution kept under nitrogen). When the iron is added to the medium a white floculant precipitate may appear. In the initial stages of growth the precipitate turns orange/brown as the ferrous ions are oxidised to ferrihydrite. Cultivation may take 2-3 weeks at a distance of 30 cm from a 25 W light bulb.
