Final pH: 7.5 - 8.0 Final volume: 1021 ml NH4Cl 1.00 g KH2PO4 0.33 g K2HPO4 0.45 g MgSO4 x 7 H2O 0.10 g Modified Wolin's mineral solution 20.00 ml Yeast extract 2.00 g Sodium resazurin (0.1% w/v) 0.50 ml NaHCO3 10.00 g D-Fructose 10.00 g Wolin's vitamin solution (10x) 1.00 ml L-Cysteine HCl x H2O 0.50 g Na2S x 9 H2O 0.50 g Distilled water 1000.00 ml 1. Dissolve ingredients except bicarbonate, fructose, vitamins, cysteine, and sulfide, bring to the boil, and cool to room temperature under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Add bicarbonate (solid) and equilibrate the medium with the gas until a pH of around 7.4 is reached. Then distribute under the same gas atmosphere in anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Before use adjust the pH to 7.5 - 8.0 by adding a sterile anoxic stock solution of sodium carbonate (5% w/v) prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture and add fructose, vitamins (sterilized by filtration), cysteine, and sulfide from anoxic sterile stock solutions prepared under 100% N2. 2. Note: For autotrophic growth D-fructose is omitted and a gas atmosphere of 80% H2 and 20% CO2 is used. For DSM 4132: Use D-fructose as substrate at a final concentration of 1.00 g/l. Modified Wolin's mineral solution (from medium 141) Nitrilotriacetic acid 1.50 g MgSO4 x 7 H2O 3.00 g MnSO4 x H2O 0.50 g NaCl 1.00 g FeSO4 x 7 H2O 0.10 g CoSO4 x 7 H2O 0.18 g CaCl2 x 2 H2O 0.10 g ZnSO4 x 7 H2O 0.18 g CuSO4 x 5 H2O 0.01 g AlK(SO4)2 x 12 H2O 0.02 g H3BO3 0.01 g Na2MoO4 x 2 H2O 0.01 g NiCl2 x 6 H2O 0.03 g Na2SeO3 x 5 H2O 0.30 mg Na2WO4 x 2 H2O 0.40 mg Distilled water 1000.00 ml First dissolve nitrilotriacetic acid and adjust pH to 6.5 with KOH, then add minerals. Adjust final to pH 7.0 with KOH.
