# 647a: DESULFUROMONAS THIOPHILA MEDIUM


## Main sol. 647a

20	g	NaCl	
1	g	KH2PO4	
0.5	g	NH4Cl	
1	g	MgSO4 x 7 H2O	
2	g	MgCl2 x 6 H2O	
0.1	g	CaCl2 x 2 H2O	
1	ml	**Trace element solution SL-10**	
1	ml	**Selenite-tungstate solution**	
0.5	ml	Sodium resazurin (0.1% w/v)	
5	g	Sulfur (powdered)	
1.5	g	Na2CO3	
0.6	g	Na-pyruvate	
1	ml	**Seven vitamins solution**	
0.5	g	Na2S x 9 H2O	
1000	ml	Distilled water	

1. Dissolve ingredients (except sulfur, carbonate, pyruvate, vitamins and sulfide), then sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials that contain already the appropriate amount of sulfur. Sterilize medium by heating cultivation vessels in a boiling water bath for 2 - 3 hours on each of 3 successive days. Complete the medium by adding pyruvate, vitamins and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Pyruvate and vitamins are sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.0 - 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.


## Selenite-tungstate solution

0.5	g	NaOH	
3	mg	Na2SeO3 x 5 H2O	
4	mg	Na2WO4 x 2 H2O	
1000	ml	Distilled water	


## Seven vitamins solution

100	mg	Vitamin B12	
80	mg	p-Aminobenzoic acid	
20	mg	D-(+)-biotin	
200	mg	Nicotinic acid	
100	mg	Calcium pantothenate	
300	mg	Pyridoxine hydrochloride	
200	mg	Thiamine-HCl x 2 H2O	
1000	ml	Distilled water
