Preparation
- Dissolve ingredients except bicarbonate, methanol, and dithiothreitol (DTT), then sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add and dissolve bicarbonate, adjust pH of medium to 6.8 - 7.0, then 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 methanol (50% v/v solution), vitamins, and DTT from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Vitamins and DTT should be sterilized by filtration. Prior to use check pH of complete medium and adjust to 6.7 - 6.9, if necessary.
- After inoculation add sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to 1 bar overpressure.
- 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.
- First dissolve nitrilotriacetic acid and adjust pH to 6.5 with KOH, then add minerals. Adjust final to pH 7.0 with KOH.
- The ferrous sulfate solution is not stable and should be freshly prepared.
