1 Mix ingredients, except NaHCO3, and bring to a boil for 5-10 sec. Cool down under a stream of H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v), and add NaHCO3 to the medium. Dispense the medium into suitable culture vessels (e.g., serum bottles, Hungate tubes) under the same gas mixture, seal with butyl rubber stoppers and autoclave. Allow to stand the autoclaved medium overnight. Prior to inoculation, add per liter the following solutions aseptically and anaerobically (autoclaved and stored under a N2 atmosphere):
L-Cysteine HCl x H2O
(5%)
