1 Dissolve ingredients except yeast extract, vitamins and sulfide. Adjust pH to 4.5 with H2SO4 and sparge medium with 100% CO2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add yeast extract, vitamins (sterilized by filtration), and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. The sulfide stock solution (3% w/v) should be neutralized before use (see medium 28). The pH of the complete medium should be at 4.5.
