1 Dissolve ingredients except sulfur, peptone, yeast extract, bicarbonate, and sulfide, adjust the pH to 6.8, and sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Distribute medium under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials that already contain the appropriate amount of sulfur. Sterilize the medium by autoclaving at 110°C for 20 min. After sterilization add peptone, yeast extract, and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and bicarbonate from a sterile stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Adjust the pH of the complete medium to 6.8, if necessary.
