1 Dissolve ingredients except bicarbonate, fructose, vitamins, cysteine and sulfide. Sparge medium 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. Add fructose, vitamins, cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and bicarbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. The pH of the complete medium should be at 6.5.
2 Note: For autotrophic growth fructose is omitted and a gas atmosphere of 80% H2 and 20% CO2 is used.
