# Ingredient Concentration Ontology Notes
1 N2 variable VARIABLE Properties: ガス

Preparation

  1. Mix components except NaHCO3 and adjust pH to 6.5. Bring to a boilfor 5--10 sec, then, cool down under a stream of N2--CO2 (80:20, v/v) and add NaHCO3 to the solution. Dispense 0.9 volume of the medium into culturevessels (e.g., 18 ml of the medium in 50 ml serum bottle) under a stream of N2--CO2 (80:20, v/v) and seal with butyl rubber stoppers. After autoclaving, stand the medium overnight.
  2. Adjust pH to 7.0 and filter--sterilize. Keep the solution under a N2 atmosphere.
  3. To complete the medium, add 0.1 volume of Solution B to the culture vesselscontaining Solution A. Prior to inoculation, aseptically and anaerobically add 0.01 volume of L--cysteine・HCl・H2O and Na2S・9H2O solutions to the medium (3% solutions, autoclaved and stored under a N2 atmosphere).
  4. Comment: For strain JCM 10971, incubate with a 10% inoculum.
  5. Use Medium No. [284] supplemented with final 0.2 g yeast extract in Solution A (per 900 ml), and with 0.332 g/L o--phthalic acid in Solution B (per 100 ml) instead of sodium pyruvate. Otherwise, prepare the medium as described in therecipe of Medium No. [284].
  6. Comment: For strain JCM 12282, incubate with a 15 -- 20% inoculum.
