Medium for Acidithiobacillus sp. DSM 24413

* Modification: Omit the ferrous sulfate from the medium and add 10.00 g/l elemental sulfur as substrate. For sterilization place the sulfur in screw-capped tubes, add 1-2 drops of distilled water and incubate on 3 successive days for 3 h at 90-100°C in a water bath. Before use, aseptically layer the sulfur onto the surface of autoclaved liquid basal medium. Adjust pH of complete medium to 2.5.

1 Dissolve ingredients and adjust pH to 2.0 with 10 N H2SO4. Sterilize the medium by filtration. Alternatively, autoclave separately the basal medium (pH adjusted to 2.0) and the ferrous sulfate (8.00 g FeSO4 x 7 H2O in 50 ml 0.1 N H2SO4, pH not adjusted, in a sealed vessel under nitrogen gas atmosphere).
2 Note: Incubate statically without shaking.
