1 Dissolve ingredients (except bicarbonate, fumarate and vitamins), sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add bicarbonate and equilibrate the medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to reach a pH of 6.8, then dispense medium under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After autoclaving add fumarate and vitamins from anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and sterilized by filtration. Check medium pH and adjust to 6.8, if necessary.
