1 Adjust pH to 8.2.
2 Boil the medium under a stream of nitrogen gas for a few minutes and distribute 90 ml medium into 100 ml screw-capped bottles. Bubble each bottle with nitrogen gas and close immediately with a rubber septum and screw tight. Autoclave at 121°C for 15 min. After autoclaving inject 1.0 ml of neutralized sulfide solution (0.03% end concentration) to each bottle. This medium can be stored for several months. Incubate the culture at 50°C at a light intensity of 300 - 500 lux. For heavy cell suspension supplement periodically with sterile yeast extract solution (0.1% end concentration, for more details see Ref. 3365, 3366).
