1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, yeast extract, vitamins, growth-stimulating factors and Na-dithionite), boil medium for 1 min, then cool to room temperature under 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Adjust pH to 6.0 and dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Add yeast extract, vitamins, and growth-stimulating factors from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and carbonate and Na-dithionite from sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Vitamins and Na-dithionite are sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 6.5, if necessary.
2 After inoculation use 2 bar overpressure of sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture.
