1 Dissolve ingredients except cysteine, bicarbonate, glucose and vitamins, then sparge medium with 100% N2 gas to make it anoxic. Add cysteine and sodium bicarbonate, then adjust pH to 7.5. Dispense medium in anoxic Hungate-type tubes under 100% N2 gas and autoclave. A precipitate forms which will redissolve slowly over about 3 days. Before use inject separately sterile glucose solution (20% w/v) and vitamins prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere. Vitamins should be sterilized by filtration. Check medium pH and adjust pH to 7.6, if necessary.
Solution occurs in 305 other media (first defined in Medium 120).
