1 Dissolve ingredients except for cysteine, carbonate, and glucose, and sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere to make it anoxic. Add cysteine and adjust pH to 7.2 - 7.4 by adding and dissolving solid Na2CO3. Then distribute the medium under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After autoclaving add glucose from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under a 100% N2 gas atmosphere. The final pH of the medium should be at 7.4.
Solution occurs in 28 other media (first defined in Medium 1310).
1 Rumen fluid from cow or sheep (obtained from fistulated animals or abattoir refuse) is filtered through muslin, autoclaved at 121°C for 15 min and then centrifuged at 27,000 g for 20 min. The supernatant is made anoxic by sparging with 100% N2 gas for 15 min, dispensed under same gas atmosphere into anoxic serum vials to 30% of volume and then stored frozen at -20°C.
