1 Sparge solution A with 100% N2 gas for at least 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, then dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Solution B is autoclaved under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Solutions C and D are prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and sterilized by filtration. Solution E is autoclaved separately under 100% N2 gas. Solutions B to E are added to the sterile solution A in the sequence as indicated. Final pH of the medium should be 6.8 - 7.0.
