| 1 Dissolve ingredients (except bicarbonate, coenzyme M, vitamins, methanol, cysteine and sulfide) and sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Then add and dissolve bicarbonate, adjust pH to 6.5 and dispense medium under 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Methanol (50% v/v stock solution) and the reducing agents are each autoclaved separately under 100% N2 gas atmosphere as concentrated solutions in tightly closed tubes. Vitamins and coenzyme M are prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and sterilized by filtration. Appropriate volumes of the stock solutions are injected into the sterile medium with hypodermic syringes. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.0 - 7.2, if necessary. | |||||
| 2 After inoculation, pressurize culture vessels with sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to 1 bar overpressure. | |||||
