Sparge solution A with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 – 45 min to make it anoxic, then dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Solutions B and D are autoclaved under 100% N2 gas atmosphere. Solution C is autoclaved separately under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Solutions E and F are prepared under 100% N2 gas and sterilized by filtration. To complete the medium appropriate amounts of solutions B to F are added to the sterile solution A in the sequence as indicated. The pH of the complete medium should be 7.0 - 7.2.
