1 Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, yeast extract, Trypticase peptone, vitamins, sulfide and cysteine, then adjust pH to 6.0 with sulfuric acid. Sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into serum bottles to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Thereafter, add by injection yeast extract, Trypticase peptone, vitamins (sterilized by filtration), sulfide and cysteine from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Adjust pH of complete medium to 6.5.
2 After inoculation pressurize bottles to 2 bar overpressure with sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture.
