1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, thiosulfate, vitamins and reducing agents) and sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add thiosulfate, vitamin solution, sulfide and cysteine 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.
Solution occurs in 14 other media (first defined in Medium 318).
