Culturing Conditions

Methanobrevibacter boviskoreani JH1T is a strict anaerobe and can be grown in both RMO2-medium and MSM (Methanobrevibacter smithii medium) topped with H2/CO2 (80:20, v/v). Growth of M. boviskoreani JH1T requires rumen fluid but does not need volatile fatty acids (VFAs). Upon plating, the strain forms colonies in 7-10 days when incubated at 37°C in Wolfe incubator filled with a gas mixture of H2/CO2 (80:20) supplemented with 1000ppm H2S .
