# 640: CALDICELLULOSIRUPTOR MEDIUM ## Main sol. 640 0.9 g NH4Cl 0.9 g NaCl 0.4 g MgCl2 x 6 H2O 0.75 g KH2PO4 1.5 g K2HPO4 2 g Trypticase peptone (BD BBL) 1 g Yeast extract (OXOID) 1 ml **Trace element solution SL-10** 2.5 ml FeCl3 x 6 H2O (0.1% w/v in 0.2 N HCl) 0.5 ml Sodium resazurin (0.1% w/v) 0.75 g L-Cysteine HCl x H2O 1 g Cellobiose 1000 ml Distilled water 1. Dissolve ingredients except cysteine and cellobiose. Sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, then add cysteine and adjust pH to 7.2. Distribute medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add cellobiose after autoclaving from an anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.2, if necessary. ## Trace element solution SL-10 10 ml HCl (25%) 1.5 g FeCl2 x 4 H2O 70 mg ZnCl2 100 mg MnCl2 x 4 H2O 6 mg H3BO3 190 mg CoCl2 x 6 H2O 2 mg CuCl2 x 2 H2O 24 mg NiCl2 x 6 H2O 36 mg Na2MoO4 x 2 H2O 990 ml Distilled water 1. First dissolve FeCl2 in the HCl, then dilute in water, add and dissolve the other salts. Finally make up to 1000.00 ml.
