1 Dissolve ingredients, except thiosulfate, cysteine, carbonate, glucose, and sulfide, then sparge medium for 30 - 45 min with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to make it anoxic. Add thiosulfate and cysteine, then adjust pH to 7.0 and dispense medium under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume and autoclave. After autoclaving, add glucose 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. Adjust the pH of the complete medium to 7.2 - 7.4, if necessary.
