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.
