1 Dissolve ingredients (except cysteine, carbonate, cellobiose and sulfide), bring medium to the boil, then cool to room temperature under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture and add cysteine. Dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add sulfide from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Sterilize cellobiose separately by filtration under 100% N2 gas. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.0, if necessary.
2 Note: Some strains can be adapted to cellulose as substrate using 10.0 g/l cellulose powder MN 301 (MACHEREY-NAGEL).
