Sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, then add cysteine and adjust pH to 7.2. Distribute medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add cellobiose after autoclaving from an anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.2, if necessary. For DSM 8685, DSM 8691, DSM 8692, DSM 10170: Replace cellobiose with 5.00 g/l D-xylose added to the autoclaved medium from an anoxic stock solution sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 5.2 - 5.4! For DSM 10319, DSM 11055, DSM 11056, DSM 11057, DSM 11426, DSM 22141, DSM 101588: Replace cellobiose with 5.00 g/l D-glucose added to the autoclaved medium from a sterile anoxic stock solution. For DSM 13528: Replace cellobiose with 5.00 g/l D-fructose added to the autoclaved medium from a sterile anoxic stock solution. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 6.0! For DSM 16488, DSM 24455: Replace cellobiose with 2.00 g/l D-glucose added to the autoclaved medium from a sterile anoxic stock solution. For DSM 22658: Replace cellobiose with 5.00 g/l D-fructose added to the autoclaved medium from a sterile anoxic stock solution. For DSM 24750: Replace cellobiose with 2.00 g/l Na-pyruvate added to the autoclaved medium from an anoxic stock solution sterilized by filtration.
