1 Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, acetate, hydrogenphosphate, yeast extract, vitamins and ferric iron hydroxide sludge. Suspend pellet of ferric iron hydroxide in medium and sparge with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Thereafter, dispense suspension under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave for 30 min. Add acetate, hydrogenphosphate, yeast extract and vitamins (sterilized by filtration) from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. The pH of the complete medium should be at 6.5 - 6.8.

1 Slowly titrate 320 ml of a FeCl3 x 6 H2O stock solution (60.00 g/l) with 10% (w/v) NaOH to pH 8.0-8.5 under agitation (use magnetic stirrer). Total amount of added NaOH approx. 80 - 100 ml. The precipitated Fe(OH)3 should be stored at room temperature overnight with surface covered with water. Thereafter, centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 5 min and discard the supernatant. Wash several times with distilled water. Resuspend the pellet in medium as described above. For storage autoclave under 100% N2 atmosphere.
