1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, carbohydrates, cysteine and sulfide) and sparge medium with 100% CO2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add the carbonate and equilibrate the medium with the CO2 gas to pH 6.8. Distribute under 100% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Thereafter, add glucose, maltose, cellobiose, starch, cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Cellobiose should be sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of complete medium to 6.7 - 6.8, if necessary.
