1 Dissolve ingredients (except sulfur, acetate, bicarbonate, vitamins, and dithiothreitol) and sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Adjust pH to 5.9, dispense under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials containing already the appropriate amount of sulfur and sterilize by heating for 2-3 hours in a boiling water bath on each of 3 successive days. Add acetate, vitamins, and dithiothreitol from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and bicarbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Solutions of vitamins and dithiothreitol are sterilized by filtration. Prior to using adjust the pH of the complete medium to 6.8 - 7.0, if necessary. |
