# 965: THERMOANAEROBACTER KREATINOPHILUS MEDIUM


## Main sol. 965

1	g	NH4Cl	
0.3	g	K2HPO4	
0.3	g	KH2PO4	
0.5	g	MgCl2 x 6 H2O	
2	g	NaCl	
0.2	g	KCl	
0.05	g	CaCl2 x 2 H2O	
1	g	Yeast extract (OXOID)	
2	g	Tryptone (BD Bacto)	
10	ml	**Modified Wolin's mineral solution**	
10	g	Starch (soluble)	
0.5	ml	Sodium resazurin (0.1% w/v)	
0.5	g	L-Cysteine HCl x H2O	
5	g	Na2S2O3 x 5 H2O	
1000	ml	Distilled water	

1. Dissolve ingredients (except cysteine and thiosulfate), bring medium to the boil then cool to room temperature under 100% N2 gas atmosphere. Add cysteine and adjust pH to 7.5, then dispense medium under 100% N2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Before inoculation, add thiosulfate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas and sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of complete medium to 7.5, if necessary.


## Modified Wolin's mineral solution

1.5	g	Nitrilotriacetic acid	
3	g	MgSO4 x 7 H2O	
0.5	g	MnSO4 x H2O	
1	g	NaCl	
0.1	g	FeSO4 x 7 H2O	
0.18	g	CoSO4 x 7 H2O	
0.1	g	CaCl2 x 2 H2O	
0.18	g	ZnSO4 x 7 H2O	
0.01	g	CuSO4 x 5 H2O	
0.02	g	AlK(SO4)2 x 12 H2O	
0.01	g	H3BO3	
0.01	g	Na2MoO4 x 2 H2O	
0.03	g	NiCl2 x 6 H2O	
0.3	mg	Na2SeO3 x 5 H2O	
0.4	mg	Na2WO4 x 2 H2O	
1000	ml	Distilled water	

1. First dissolve nitrilotriacetic acid and adjust pH to 6.5 with KOH, then add minerals. Adjust final to pH 7.0 with KOH.
