| 1 Dissolve ingredients except methanol, bicarbonate, cysteine and sulfide. Adjust pH of medium to 7.2 and sparge with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Then dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes to 30% v/v of their volume and autoclave. Add methanol (from 15% v/v stock solution), cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and bicarbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Prior to use check pH of complete medium and adjust to 7.6, if necessary. | |||||
| 2 After inoculation, add sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to 0.5 bar overpressure. After growth becomes visible overpressure of 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture can be increased to 1 bar. | |||||
| 3 Note: Use 10% (v/v) as inoculum. | |||||
