1 Dissolve all ingredients except carbonate, caproate, butyrate, vitamins and sulfide, then sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add caproate, butyrate, 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. Adjust pH of complete medium to 6.7 - 6.9, if necessary.
2 Note: Growth can be stimulated by supplementing the medium with 1% (v/v) of fatty acid mixture (see medium 119).
