1 Dissolve ingredients, except crotonic acid, NaHCO3, L-cysteine x HCl x H2O and Na2S x 9H2O, in 900 ml of distilled water and adjust pH to 7.0-7.5. Bring to a boil for 5-10 sec, then, cool down under a stream of N2-CO2 (80:20, v/v) and add NaHCO3 to the medium. Dispense 0.9 volume of the medium into suitable culture vessels under a stream of N2-CO2 (80:20, v/v) and seal with butyl rubber stoppers. After autoclaving, stand the medium overnight. Add 0.1 volume of a filter-sterilized crotonic acid solution (0.86 g/100 ml, pH 7.0) to the medium. Autoclave cysteine x HCl and Na2S x 9H2O as 5% solutions, respectively, under a N2 atmosphere. Prior to inoculation, aseptically and anaerobically add the solutions of crotonic acid, L-cysteine x HCl x H2O and Na2S x 9H2O to the medium.
