# 845: SPIRILLUM WINOGRADSKYI MEDIUM ## Main sol. 845 5 g Peptone (BD Bacto) 1 g Disodium succinate 1 g (NH4)2SO4 1 g MgSO4 x 7 H2O 2 mg FeCl3 x 6 H2O 2 mg MnSO4 x H2O 1 g Agar (BD Bacto) 1 ml **Trace element solution SL-11** 1 ml **Seven vitamins solution** 1 ml Catalase (2000 U/ml) 1000 ml Distilled water 1. Dissolve ingredients except trace elements, vitamins and catalase, adjust pH to 7.2 - 7.4, bring medium to the boil and cool to room temperature under 100% N2 gas atmosphere. Dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. To complete the medium add trace elements, vitamins and catalase from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere. Vitamins and catalase should be sterilized by filtration. After inoculation, inject sterile air into the culture vessel up to about 20% of the total gas volume (i.e., 4 parts N2 and 1 part air). ## Trace element solution SL-11 5.2 g Na2-EDTA x 2 H2O 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 1000 ml Distilled water 1. Dissolve EDTA in 800 ml distilled water, adjust pH to 7 using 2 N NaOH and add ferrous chloride. After ferrous chloride has dissolved add other compounds. Finally adjust pH to 6.0 and bring volume to 1000 ml. ## 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
