1 First, dissolve ferric citrate in water by heating and adjust to pH 7.5 with NaOH, then add other medium ingredients except acetate, lactate, and coenzyme M. Sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add acetate, lactate, and coenzyme M from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas.
2 Prior to inoculation the pH of the complete medium should be checked and adjusted to 7.5, if necessary.
