Resazurin 0.40 mg 4.0e-4 0.002
2 Adjust pH to 6.5 with NaOH, bring to boil for 5 min, then cool to room temperature under H2 + CO2 (80% + 20%) gas mixture. Add 0.85 g NaHCO3 per liter and equilibrate the pH to c. 6.5 by further gassing.
3 Dispense in serum bottles (10 ml/30 ml bottle), seal and heat the bottles for one hour at 85°C on each of three successive days.
4 Before inoculation, add from anaerobic stock solutions 0.02% yeast extract (for mixotrophic growth only) and 0.01 ml Na-dithionite solution (250 mg Na-dithionite/10 ml dist. water, filter-sterilized). After inoculation, pressurize to 1 bar H2 + CO2 overpressure.
