1 Dissolve ingredients except pyruvate, bicarbonate and sulfide, adjust pH to 6.0 with NaOH and sparge medium for 30 - 45 min with 100% N2 gas to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Before use add pyruvate (sterilized by filtration) 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. Final medium pH should be 7.2.
2 Note: Prior to inoculation 10-20 mg/l sodium dithionite (added from a 5% w/v solution freshly prepared under N2 and filter-sterilized) can be added to the medium to stimulate growth at the beginning.
Solution occurs in 22 other media (first defined in Medium 722).
