Preparation

  1. Aliquot Solution A into 100 mL screw-cap bottles, filled with 46 mL each. Bubble with N2/CO2 and autoclave at 121°C for 15 min (as decribed below).
  2. Prepare the following solutions (resazurin, bicarbonate and Pfennig's heterotrophic salts) and sterilize as given below.
  3. Add bicarbonate solution and Pfennig's heterotrophic salts to the resazurin (complete volumina, i.e. 50 mL bicarbonate solution and 26 mL Pfennig's heterotrophic salts solution). Bubble with CO2 in an ice bath under sterile conditions.
  4. Fill 50 ml of this mixture to each bottle of solution A (46 mL + 50 mL).
  5. Before use, add 4 ml sulfide solution (1.5%) and 0.1 ml Vitamin B12 solution to each 100 mL bottle.
  6. During the first 24 h, the iron of the medium precipitates in the form of black flocks. No other sediment should arise in the otherwise clear medium. Feed periodically with neutralized 3% solution of sodium sulfide to replenish sulfide and with other supplement solutions (see Ref. 3365).
  7. Adjust pH to 6.8-7.1 with 1M Na2CO3 (filter-sterilized).
  8. Fill 10x 46ml in 100 ml screw-cap bottles. Bubble with N2/CO2 and autoclave 121°C 15 min.
  9. Prepare in a screw-cap bottle, bubble with N2 to replace air, close tightly and autoclave.
  10. Bubble with CO2 and filter sterilize into sterile, gas-tight, 100 ml screw-cap bottle.
  11. Autoclave in a cotton-stoppered Erlenmeyer flask with an outlet tube for medium, connected to a glass outlet at the bottom of the vessel and has, at the other end, a silicon rubber tube with a pinch cock and a bell for aseptic dispensing of the medium into bottles.
  12. Cool to room temperature under an atmosphere of N2/CO2 in an ice bath.
  13. Filter sterilize into sterile, gas-tight, 100 ml screw-cap bottle.
  14. Filter sterilized
  15. Aliquot Solution A into 100 mL screw-cap bottles, filled with 46 mL each. Bubble with N2/CO2 and autoclave at 121°C for 15 min.
  16. Adjust the pH with filter-sterilised 1M Na2CO3 to 7.1-7.3.
  17. If needed, aliquot into sterile, N<sub>2</sub> gassed screw-cap tubes under N<sub>2</sub> gas.
  18. During the first 24 h, the iron of the medium precipitates in the form of black flocks. No other sediment should arise in the otherwise clear medium.
  19. Aliquot Solution A into 100 mL screw-cap bottles, filled with 46 mL each. Bubble with N2/CO2 and autoclave at 121°C for 15 min (as decribed below).
  20. Prepare the following solutions (resazurin, bicarbonate and Pfennig's heterotrophic salts) and sterilize as given below.
  21. Add bicarbonate solution and Pfennig's heterotrophic salts to the resazurin (complete volumina, i.e. 50 mL bicarbonate solution and 26 mL Pfennig's heterotrophic salts solution). Bubble with CO2 in an ice bath under sterile conditions.
  22. Fill 50 ml of this mixture to each bottle of solution A (46 mL + 50 mL).
  23. Before use, add 4 ml sulfide solution (1.5%) and 0.1 ml Vitamin B12 solution to each 100 mL bottle.
  24. Feed the actively growing culture periodically with neutralized 3% solution of sodium sulfide (use 1 -3 mL/100 mL depending on strain and cultivation stage) to replenish sulfide and with other supplement solutions (see Ref. 3365).
  25. Prepare in a screw-cap bottle, bubble with N2 to replace air, close tightly and autoclave.
  26. Bubble with CO2 and filter sterilize into sterile, gas-tight, 100 ml screw-cap bottle.
  27. Autoclave in a cotton-stoppered Erlenmeyer flask with an outlet tube for medium, connected to a glass outlet at the bottom of the vessel and has, at the other end, a silicon rubber tube with a pinch cock and a bell for aseptic dispensing of the medium into bottles.
  28. Cool to room temperature under an atmosphere of N2/CO2 in an ice bath.
  29. Filter sterilize into sterile, gas-tight, 100 ml screw-cap bottle.
  30. Filter sterilized
  31. The sulfide solution is prepared in a 250 ml screw-capped bottle with a butyl rubber septum and a magnetic stirrer. The solution is bubbled with nitrogen gas, closed and autoclaved for 15 min. at 121°C. After cooling to room temperature the pH is adjusted to about 7.0 by adding of sterile 2 M H2SO4 drop-wise with a syringe without opening the bottle.
  32. Adjust pH to 6.0.
