1 Dissolve ingredients (except bicarbonate, cysteine, and sulfide), bring the medium to a boil, then cool to room temperature under 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Add the bicarbonate and equilibrate the medium to pH 6.8. Distribute under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume and autoclave. After that, add cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under a 100% N2 gas atmosphere. Adjust the pH of the complete medium to 6.7 - 6.8, if necessary. | |||||
2 After inoculation add sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to 2 bar of overpressure. |
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. |
