1 Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, yeast extract, trimethylamine, vitamins and sulfide, then sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add yeast extract, trimethylamine, vitamins (sterilized by filtration) and sulfide 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 atmosphere. Prior to use check pH of complete medium and adjust to 7.6 - 8.0 with a sterile anoxic stock solution of Na2CO3 (5% w/v), if necessary.
Solution occurs in 166 other media (first defined in Medium 141).
