Preparation

  1. Prepare 4-YACo medium with 4% yeast autolysate and 20 mM maltose.
  2. Supplement each 5 ml culture with the Vitamin B7, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12/corrinoid, and tryptophan quantities reported by TOGO M2770.
  3. Grow cultures in 5 ml volumes in 25 ml Balch tubes with crimp-top stoppers under an 80% H2 and 20% CO2 headspace in the dark at room temperature.
