Official DSMZ medium: This medium was manually curated by experts from the DSMZ.
* Modification: Omit glucose. Add 0.70 g/l Na2SO4 to solution A and use 1.50 g/l Na-propionate as substrate. Reduce the amount of sulfide to 0.10 g/l and use 25 - 50 mg sodium dithionite per liter (e.g. from a freshly prepared filter-sterilized 5% w/v solution) for reduction of the medium prior to inoculation.

1 Sparge solution A with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, distribute 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. Solution C and D are prepared under 100% N2 gas and sterilized by filtration. Solution E is autoclaved under 100% N2 gas. To complete the medium appropriate amounts of solutions B to E are added to the sterile solution A in the sequence as indicated. Adjust pH of complete medium to 7.2 - 7.4, if necessary. |

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. |
