# 728: DESULFOBACCA MEDIUM


## Main sol. 728

0.53	g	Na2HPO4 x 2 H2O	
0.41	g	KH2PO4	
0.3	g	NH4Cl	
0.1	g	MgCl2 x 6 H2O	
0.3	g	NaCl	
3	g	Na2SO4	
1.64	g	Na-acetate	
1	ml	**Trace element solution SL-10**	
1	ml	**Selenite-tungstate solution**	
0.5	ml	Sodium resazurin (0.1% w/v)	
1.5	g	Na2CO3	
0.11	g	CaCl2 x 2 H2O	
0.5	ml	**Seven vitamins solution**	
0.5	g	Na2S x 9 H2O	
1000	ml	Distilled water	

1. Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, calcium chloride, vitamins and sulfide. Sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, then dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add calcium chloride, 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 atmosphere. Vitamins should be sterilized by filtration. The pH of the complete medium should be 7.5 - 7.7.


## Trace element solution SL-10

10	ml	HCl (25%)	
1.5	g	FeCl2 x 4 H2O	
70	mg	ZnCl2	
100	mg	MnCl2 x 4 H2O	
6	mg	H3BO3	
190	mg	CoCl2 x 6 H2O	
2	mg	CuCl2 x 2 H2O	
24	mg	NiCl2 x 6 H2O	
36	mg	Na2MoO4 x 2 H2O	
990	ml	Distilled water	

1. First dissolve FeCl2 in the HCl, then dilute in water, add and dissolve the other salts. Finally make up to 1000.00 ml.


## Selenite-tungstate solution

0.5	g	NaOH	
3	mg	Na2SeO3 x 5 H2O	
4	mg	Na2WO4 x 2 H2O	
1000	ml	Distilled water	


## Seven vitamins solution

100	mg	Vitamin B12	
80	mg	p-Aminobenzoic acid	
20	mg	D-(+)-biotin	
200	mg	Nicotinic acid	
100	mg	Calcium pantothenate	
300	mg	Pyridoxine hydrochloride	
200	mg	Thiamine-HCl x 2 H2O	
1000	ml	Distilled water
