Then add and dissolve bicarbonate, adjust pH to 6.5 and dispense medium under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Methanol (50% v/v stock solution) and the reducing agents are each autoclaved separately under 100% N2 gas atmosphere as concentrated solutions in tightly closed tubes. Vitamins are prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and sterilized by filtration. Appropriate volumes of the stock solutions are injected into the sterile medium with hypodermic syringes. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 6.8 - 7.0, if necessary. For DSM 1538, DSM 7058, DSM 9195: Replace methanol with 5.00 g/l trimethylamine-HCl. For DSM 1825, DSM 7081, DSM 11855: Supplement medium with 5% (v/v) clarified rumen fluid (see medium 1310) and adjust pH to 6.5 - 6.8. For DSM 21571: Supplement medium with 6.00 g/l NaCl.
