1 Mix components thoroughly and autoclave. After cooling, add the following solutions (autoclaved) to the medium:
Phosphate buffer solution 2.00 ml
Vitamin solution 10.00 ml
2 Methane: Aseptically distribute the medium into sterile serum bottles (leave &; 80% gas phase by volume) and seal with rubber stoppers. Replace the gas phase with an air-methane gas mixture (75:25, v/v). Cultivate with shaking.
3 Adjust pH to 6.8, if necessary. Cultivate with methane or methanol as a substrate as described below:
4 Methanol: Aseptically distribute the medium into culture vessels (e.g., 20 ml in 60 ml serum bottles), supplement with 4.0 ml per liter filter-sterilized methanol and seal with rubber stoppers.
