Compound Amount Unit
NaCl 30.00 g
KH2PO4 0.14 g
CaCl2 x 2 H2O 0.80 g
MgSO4 x 7 H2O 3.40 g
MgCl2 x 6 H2O 4.20 g
KCl 0.33 g
NaNO3 0.25 g
NH4Cl 0.25 g
Na2SiO3 x 9 H2O 0.20 g
Fe2(SO4)3 x n H2O 20.00 mg
Na2SeO3 x 5 H2O 0.50 mg
NiCl2 x 6 H2O 0.50 mg
Trace mineral solution 3.00 ml
Distilled water 1000.00 ml
1 Mix components, adjust pH to 6.0 - 6.5 and autoclave. After cooling, add the following solutions (filter-sterilized) to the medium:
Trace vitamins 1.00 ml
NaHCO3
(5%)
10.00 ml
CuSO4
(1 mM)
2.00 ml
2 Distribute the medium into culture vessels (leave >80% volume gas phase) under a N2-CO2 (4:1) gas mixture and seal with butyl rubber stoppers. Pressurize the culture vessels to 200 kPa with methane gas. Finally add O2 gas to make up 2% O2 concentration in the gas phase. Readjust pH to 6.0 - 6.3, if necessary.
