1 Dissolve ingredients (except pyruvate, thiosulfate, vitamins, cysteine 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 and autoclave. Add pyruvate, thiosulfate, vitamins, cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Stock solutions of pyruvate and vitamins are sterilized by filtration. Adjust medium pH to 7.5 by adding sterile anoxic 1 N NaOH.
