A white precipitate that appears in the medium after autoclaving should dissolve again in about 2 days. Separately autoclave cysteine-HCl and Na2S·9H2O as a 5% solution under a N2 atmosphere. Vitamin and Na2CO3 (as a 10% solution) are sterilized by filtration. Aseptically and anaerobically add vitamin, rumen fluid, FeSO4, Na2CO3, cysteine-HCl and Na2S·9H2O. Adjust the pH of the medium to 7.3-7.5. Use 20% culture as an inoculum. | | | | | | | | | | *Trace element solution | | | | Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) | 4.1 | g | | | | FeCl3·6H2O | 0.36 | g | | | | MnCl2·4H2O | 0.09 | g | | | | CoCl2·6H2O | 0.15 | g | | | | CaCl2·2H2O | 0.018 | g | | | | ZnCl2 | 0.09 | g | | | | H3BO3 | 0.017 | g | | | | Na2MoO4·2H2O | 0.009 | g | | | | NiCl2·6H2O | 0.018 | g | | | | Na2SeO3 | 1.6 | mg | | | | Na2WO4 | 1.6 | mg | | | | Distilled water | 1 | L | | | | First dissolve nitrilotriacetic acid and adjust pH to 6.5 with NaOH, and then add minerals.
