1 Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, vitamins and sulfide. Sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, then dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Add vitamins and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Vitamins should be sterilized by filtration. The pH of the complete medium should be adjusted to 6.5.
2 After inoculation pressurize tubes or bottles (heavy walled) to 2 bar overpressure with sterile 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture.
