# J565: DESULFOVIBRIO HEB233 MEDIUM ## Main sol. J565 ## Solution A 0.3 g KH2PO4 0.3 g K2HPO4 1 g NH4Cl 3 g Na2SO4 23 g NaCl 0.1 g KCl 0.1 g CaCl2 0.1 g Yeast extract (BD-Difco) 1 ml **Trace element solution** 0.5 g L-Cysteine HCl x H2O 1 mg Resazurin 900 ml Distilled water 1. To complete the medium, add the following stock solutions [Filter-sterilize NaHCO3 solution and store under a N2-CO2 (4:1, v/v) gas mixture. The other solutions are autoclaved and stored anaerobically under a N2 atmosphere] to the medium (per 4.5 ml): 0.1 ml Sodium lactate (1 M) 0.1 ml MgCl2 x 6 H2O (15%) 0.2 ml NaHCO3 (5%) 0.1 ml Na2S x 9 H2O (2%) 2. Mix ingredients and adjust pH to 7.2. Distribute 0.9 volume of the medium into tubes (e.g., 4.5 ml of the medium in the Hungate tubes) under a N2-CO2 (4:1, v/v) gas mixture, seal with butyl rubber stoppers and autoclave at 110C for 45 min. ## Trace element solution 12.5 ml HCl (25%) 2.1 g FeSO4 x 7 H2O 30 mg H3BO3 100 mg MnCl2 x 4 H2O 190 mg CoCl2 x 6 H2O 24 mg NiCl2 x 6 H2O 2 mg CuCl2 x 2 H2O 144 mg ZnSO4 x 7 H2O 36 mg Na2MoO4 x 2 H2O 987 ml Distilled water
