1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate and fructose) and sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for at least 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add fructose from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Adjust pH of complete medium to 8.0.
Solution occurs in 23 other media (first defined in Medium 14).
