2 Prepare the medium without Na2CO3, NaHCO3, Na2S x 9 H2O, cellulobiose or yeast extract. Boil the medium in a water bath and cool under a stream of nitrogen. Add the Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 to the cooled medium (the pH should be about 10.0) and dispense the medium into Hungate tubes or serum bottles under a stream of nitrogen. Seal the tubes under nitrogen gas and autoclave. To the cooled medium at the appropriate amounts of Na2S x 9 H2O, cellulobiose and yeast extract from sterile, anaerobic stock solutions (10% Na2S x 9 H2O, 5% cellulobiose, 10% yeast extract).
