1 Dissolve ingredients except magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, cellobiose, cysteine and carbonate, then sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After autoclaving add magnesium chloride, calcium chloride and cellobiose from anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2. Cellobiose has to be sterilized by filtration. Prior to inoculation add cysteine from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas and adjust pH to 7.2.
2 Note: Some strains can be adapted to cellulose as substrate using 10.00 g/l cellulose powder MN 301 (MACHEREY-NAGEL).
