1 Solution A is sparged with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to reach a pH below 6 (at least 30 min), then dispensed under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclaved. Solution B is autoclaved separately under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Solutions C and D are prepared under 100% N2 gas and filter-sterilized. Solution E is autoclaved under 100% N2 gas. To complete the medium appropriate amounts of solutions B to E are added to the sterile solution A in the sequence as indicated. Final pH of the medium should be 7.0 – 7.2.
2 Note: Addition of 10 - 20 mg sodium dithionite per liter (e.g. from 5% (w/v) solution freshly prepared under N2 and filter-sterilized) may stimulate growth of some strains at the beginning. For transfers use 5 - 10% inoculum. Incubate all strains in the dark.
