Other salts in medium 88 were replaced with the trace element solution SL-10 from DSMZ medium 320 at a concentration of 1 : 1000. Beef extract (3 g/l), 0.06 % betaine and Kao and Michayluk’s vitamin solution (Sigma-Aldrich) at 1 : 100 (v/v) were added to the medium. The medium was adjusted to pH 1.0–1.2 with concentrated H2SO4. | 5 days | 37 | |
