| 1 Sparge solution A with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Thereafter, dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Solution B is autoclaved separately under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Anoxic stock solutions C, D, E, F, and H are prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and solution G under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Filter sterilize solutions D, F and G. To complete the medium appropriate amounts of solutions B to H are added to the sterile solution A in the sequence as indicated. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.2 - 7.5, if necessary. | |||||

| 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. |

| 1 Add 1 N NaOH to distilled water and make the solution anoxic by sparging with 100% N2 gas. Then dissolve the Na-dithionite and filter sterilize the solution into anoxic Hungate tubes. Store the prepared solution in a dark and cool place. Prepare only small amounts of stock solution, as Na-dithionite decomposes rapidly. | |||||
