1 Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, thiosulfate, glucose and sulfide. Sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, then dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add thiosulfate, glucose, cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. The pH of the complete medium should be adjusted to 7.5, if necessary.
Solution occurs in 167 other media (first defined in Medium 141).
