1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, cellobiose, vitamins and sulfide), then sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After sterilization add cellobiose, vitamins and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Stock solutions of cellobiose and vitamins should be sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of complete medium to 7.0, if necessary. | |||||
2 Note: Some strains can be adapted to cellulose as substrate using 2.00 g/l Avicel microcrystalline cellulose (SIGMA). |
