1 Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, bicarbonate, vitamins and sulfide, then sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add and dissolve carbonates and sulfide while gassing the head space only. Dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Before use add vitamins from an anoxic stock solution sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 9.0 - 9.5.
