1 Mix ingredients, except yeast extract, starch, sulfur and Na2S x 9H2O, and filter-sterilize while gassing with N2. Autoclave yeast extract and starch as 10% solutions and Na2S x 9H2O as a 5% solution under a N2 atmosphere. Steam sulfur for 3 hr on each of 3 successive days. Aseptically and anaerobically add the yeast extract and starch solutions, and sulfur to the medium. Prior to inoculation, add the sterile Na2S x 9H2O solution, and adjust pH to 5.5 with sterile 1 N H2SO4.
