1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, vitamins and reducing agents), then sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic and adjust pH to 6.0. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Prior to inoculation add vitamins, cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Vitamins are sterilized by filtration. If necessary, adjust the pH of the complete medium to 7.0.
2 After inoculation pressurize vials to 1 bar overpressure with sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture.
