1 Dissolve ingredients except bicarbonate, carbonate, vitamins, cysteine and sulfide. Sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, then dissolve carbonate and bicarbonate and adjust pH of medium to 8.5 using HCl. Dispense medium under 100% N2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Prior to inoculation add vitamins, cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Vitamins should be sterilized by filtration.
