Medium for Desulfofundulus sp. DSM 7475

* Modification: Na-propionate is replaced by 0.40 g/l 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid added after autoclaving from a sterile anoxic stock solution (2% w/v) prepared under N2 and neutralized with NaOH. Stock solutions of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate should be prepared freshly and sterilized by filtration. Supplement medium with 1.00 ml/l seven vitamins solution (see medium 503) added from an anoxic stock solution sterilized by filtration.


Growth conditions: 3-7 days anaerobic 55 °C
Equipment needed: Autoclave Gassing station Filter Hungate tubes

Solution B 30 ml - -
Solution C* 20 ml - -
Solution D 1 ml - -
Solution E 10 ml - -
Seven vitamins solution* 1 ml - -
1 Solution A is sparged with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to reach a pH below 6 (at least 30 min), then distributed under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclaved. Solution B is autoclaved separately under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Solutions C and E are autoclaved under 100% N2 gas. Solution D is prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and sterilized by filtration. Solutions B to E are added to the sterile, cooled solution A in appropriate amounts in the sequence as indicated. Final pH of the medium should be 7.1 - 7.4.
2 Note: Addition of 10 - 20 mg sodium dithionite per liter (e.g. from 5% (w/v) solution, freshly prepared under N2 and filter-sterilized) may stimulate growth of some strains at the beginning. For transfers use 5 - 10% (v/v) inoculum.
