1 Dissolve ingredients (except bicarbonate, cysteine, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and sulfide), then sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add and dissolve solid bicarbonate and cysteine, then adjust pH to 7.5 with 10 N KOH. Dispense medium under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials (to 30% of volume) and autoclave. Add calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. The pH of the complete medium should be between 7.2 and 7.6.
2 After inoculation pressurize vessels with sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to 1 bar overpressure.
