1 Dissolve ingredients (except bicarbonate, fructose, vitamins and reducing agents), sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic and adjust pH to 5.5. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave at 121°C for 15 min. Add fructose, vitamins (sterilized by filtration), cysteine and sulfide from sterile stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere and bicarbonate from a sterile stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Adjust pH of complete medium to 5.9!
