1 Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, acetate, hydrogenphosphate, yeast extract, vitamins and ferric iron hydroxide sludge. Suspend pellet of ferric iron hydroxide in medium and sparge with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Thereafter, dispense suspension under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave for 30 min. Add acetate, hydrogenphosphate, yeast extract and vitamins (sterilized by filtration) from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate 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 - 6.8.
