1 Dissolve ingredients except bicarbonate, yeast extract, vitamins and sulfide, then sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Add yeast extract, vitamins (sterilized by filtration) and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and bicarbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Neutralize the sodium sulfide with sterile H2SO4 (see medium 29). After completing the medium adjust pH to 6.8-7.0.
2 Inoculated vessels are pressurized with sterile carbon monoxide gas to 2 bar overpressure.

1 The sulfide solution is prepared in a 250 ml screw-capped bottle with a butyl rubber septum and a magnetic stirrer. The solution is bubbled with nitrogen gas, closed and autoclaved for 15 min. at 121°C. After cooling to room temperature the pH is adjusted to about 7.0 by adding of sterile 2 M H2SO4 drop-wise with a syringe without opening the bottle.
