“…7H 2 O, 100 mM CaCl 2 . 2H 2 O and 250 mM CaCO 3 , 1 ml l 21 of SL 10 trace elements (Tschech & Pfennig, 1984) and 10 ml l 21 vitamin solution (Balch et al, 1979) buffered with 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.2) and supplemented with 0.001 % (v/v) Tween 20, a mixture of six amino acids (L-cysteine, L-alanine, L-isoleucine, Lleucine, L-asparagine and L-arginine, each 200 mM), a fatty acid mixture of formate, acetate and propionate (each 200 mM), as well as with glucose, pyruvate, citrate, 2-oxoglutarate and succinate (each 200 mM) (Jaspers et al, 2001). After 8 weeks incubation at room temperature in the dark, the novel strain was isolated from one of the highest positive dilution steps by streaking subsamples on YPG agar plates [1.2 % agar supplemented with a 0.22 mm filter-sterilized concentrate of yeast extract, peptone and glucose with final concentrations of 0.075, 0.15 and 0.075 % (w/v), respectively].…”
