Dispense the medium into suitable culture vessels under a stream of nitrogen gas, seal with butyl rubber stoppers, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 min. Separately autoclave neutralized sulfide solution*** under a N2 atmosphere. Sterilize vitamin mixture by filtration. Sterile syringes are used to inoculate and remove samples. Prior to inoculation, aseptically and anaerobically add vitamin mixture and neutralized sulfide solution. | | | | | | | | | | *Vitamin mixture | | | | Thiamine-HCl | 50 | mg | | | | Niacine | 50 | mg | | | | p-Aminobenzoic acid | 30 | mg | | | | Pyridoxal-HCl | 10 | mg | | | | Biotin | 5 | mg | | | | Vitamin B12 | 5 | mg | | | | Distilled water | 100 | ml | | | | | | | | | | **Trace element solution | | | | 2Na-EDTA | 1 | g | | | | FeCl3·6H2O | 2 | g | | | | ZnCl2 | 0.1 | g | | | | MnCl2·2H2O | 0.1 | g | | | | H3BO3 | 0.1 | g | | | | CoCl2·6H2O | 0.1 | g | | | | Na2MoO4·2H2O | 20 | mg | | | | CuCl2·2H2O | 10 | mg | | | | NiCl2·6H2O | 10 | mg | | | | Na2SeO3 | 5 | mg | | | | Distilled water | 1 | L | | | | | | | | | | ***Neutralized sulfide solution | | | | Na2S·9H2O | 1.5 | g | | | | Distilled water | 100 | ml | | | | The sulfide solution is prepared in a vessel sealed with a butyl rubber stopper. Autoclave at 121℃ for 15 min. under a N2 atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature the pH is adjusted to about 7.3 by adding of sterile 2N H2SO4 drop-wise with a syringe without opening the bottle. Appearance of yellow colour indicates the pH is about 8. The vessel should be shaken continuously to avoid precipitation of elemental sulfur. The final solution should be transparent yellow. |
