1 First, dissolve ferric citrate in water by heating, adjust to pH 5.8, then cool to room temperature. Add other compounds (except bicarbonate, yeast extract, pyruvate, vitamins, cysteine, and ferrous chloride) and sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Then add cysteine and ferrous chloride and adjust pH to 6.8 - 7.0 with bicarbonate. Dispense medium under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Before inoculation add yeast extract, pyruvate, and vitamins, from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Stock solutions of pyruvate and vitamins should be sterilized by filtration. Adjust the pH of the complete medium to 6.8 - 7.0.
2 Note: Use 5 - 10% (v/v) inoculum. The color of the medium supernatant changes from orange-brown to yellow-greenish during growth.
