1 Dissolve ingredients (except bicarbonate, rumen fluid, vitamins, cysteine and sulfide) and sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add bicarbonate, adjust pH to 7.2, distribute medium under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After sterilization add rumen fluid, vitamins, cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere. Vitamins should be sterilized by filtration. Check pH of complete medium and adjust to 7.2, 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.
