1 Dissolve ingredients (except cysteine, trace elements and vitamins), sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Then add cysteine, adjust pH to 7.0, dispense medium under same gas atmosphere in anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After sterilization add trace elements and vitamins from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Vitamins should be sterilized by filtration. Check pH of complete medium and adjust to 7.0, if necessary.
Solution occurs in 265 other media (first defined in Medium 320).
