1 Dissolve ingredients (except sulfur, yeast extract, vitamins and sulfide), adjust pH to 3.5 with 10 N H2SO4 and sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials (e.g., 20 ml medium in 100 ml bottles) containing already the appropriate amount of sulfur. Sterilize medium by heating cultivation vessels in a water bath to 90 - 100°C for 1 - 2 hours on each of 3 successive days. Add yeast extract, vitamins (sterilized by filtration) and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Adjust pH of complete medium to 4.0 - 4.5, if necessary.
2 After inoculation pressurize vials to 1 bar overpressure with sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture.
