# 684: SYNTROPHOBACTER (MPOB) MEDIUM


## Main sol. 684

0.53	g	Na2HPO4 x 2 H2O	
0.41	g	KH2PO4	
0.3	g	NH4Cl	
0.11	g	CaCl2 x 2 H2O	
0.1	g	MgCl2 x 6 H2O	
0.3	g	NaCl	
1	ml	**Trace element solution SL-10**	
1	ml	**Selenite-tungstate solution**	
0.2	g	Yeast extract	
0.5	ml	Sodium resazurin (0.1% w/v)	
1.5	g	Na2CO3	
3.2	g	Na2-fumarate	
1	ml	**Wolin's vitamin solution (10x)**	
0.5	g	Na2S x 9 H2O	
1000	ml	Distilled water	

1. Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, vitamins, fumarate and sulfide) and 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 and autoclave. After autoclaving complete the medium by adding vitamins, fumarate and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Stock solutions of vitamins and fumarate are sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.0 - 7.2. After inoculation pressurize culture vials to 0.7 bar overpressure with sterile 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture.
2. Note: A white precipitate forms in this medium after autoclaving, which has however no negative effect on growth.


## 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
