Preparation
- Dissolve ingredients except bicarbonate, cysteine and sulfide. Sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add and dissolve bicarbonate, adjust pH to 6.5 and dispense medium under 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Add cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Prior to use check pH of complete medium and adjust to 6.8 - 7.0, if necessary.
- Note: After growth has started and the culture is becoming turbid add sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to 0.5 - 1 bar overpressure.
- Add 0.4% yeast extract to sludge from an anaerobic digester, and after gassing with nitrogen gas for a few minutes incubate it at 37°C for 24 hours. Then centrifuge the sludge at 13000 g and autoclave the resulting, clear supernatant in screw-capped vessels under nitrogen gas. The sludge fluid can be stored at 8-12°C in the dark.
- Adjust pH to 7.5 with concentrated NaOH.
- First dissolve FeCl2 in the HCl, then dilute in water, add and dissolve the other salts. Finally make up to 1000.00 ml.
- The ferrous sulfate solution is not stable and should be freshly prepared.
