Overview

External ontology
TOGO:M1136 — Freshwater Iron-Oxidizing Bacteria Medium-II
Applications
  • Microbial cultivation
Notes
TOGO M1136 records JCM Medium 1067 as a two-layer freshwater iron-oxidizing bacteria medium. JCM 1067 prepares a bottom layer from FeS solution, Modified Wolfe's solution from JCM Medium 628, and Agar, Noble; prepares a top layer from Modified Wolfe's solution and Trace minerals from JCM Medium 151; autoclaves both layers; then adds filter-sterilized Trace vitamins from JCM Medium 197 and 8% NaHCO3 solution to the cooled top layer before replacing the vessel gas phase with N2-CO2 (4:1, v/v).

# Ingredient Concentration Ontology Notes
1 Agar, Noble (BD-Difco) 15.0 G_PER_L CHEBI:2509
agar
JCM Medium 1067 lists 1.5 g Agar, Noble in the 100 ml bottom layer; normalized here to 15.0 g/L for that layer.
2 Carbon dioxide gas
CO2 44.009 g/mol
variable VARIABLE CHEBI:16526
carbon dioxide
JCM Medium 1067 replaces the gas phase with N2-CO2 (4:1, v/v).
3 Nitrogen gas
N2 28.014 g/mol
variable VARIABLE CHEBI:17997
dinitrogen
JCM Medium 1067 replaces the gas phase with N2-CO2 (4:1, v/v).

Preparation

  1. Prepare the bottom layer from FeS solution, Modified Wolfe's solution, and Agar, Noble.
  2. Prepare the top layer from Modified Wolfe's solution and Trace minerals.
  3. Autoclave both layer solutions at 121 degrees C for 15 min.
  4. Shortly after autoclaving, pipette the bottom layer into each culture vessel, typically 5 ml in a 60 ml glass vial with a cut pipette tip.
  5. Cool the bottom layer for at least 30 min to solidify.
  6. After cooling the top layer, add filter-sterilized Trace vitamins and 8% NaHCO3 solution per liter.
  7. Add the top layer solution at five to six times the bottom-layer volume to culture vessels containing solidified bottom layer.
  8. Cap culture vessels with silicone rubber stoppers and replace the gas phase with an N2-CO2 (4:1, v/v) gas mixture.
  9. For storage, cap vessels with butyl rubber stoppers instead of silicone rubber stoppers and keep the vessels anoxic.
