1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, sugar mix, yeast autolysate, vitamins, co-factors, and DTT), sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Distribute under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume (e.g., 4.5 ml per Hungate-type tube) and autoclave. After sterilization add carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere and sugar mix, yeast autolysate, vitamins, co-factors and DTT from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and sterilized by filtration. Check pH of complete medium and adjust to 7.2 - 7.4, if necessary.
2 Note: Basal medium and yeast autolysate have to be prepared freshly and cannot be stored for longer periods.
