1 Dissolve ingredients (except bicarbonate, trace elements, selenite-tungstate, ammonium chloride, pyruvate, vitamins, and catalase) and dispense medium in Erlenmeyer flasks with screw caps (e.g., from SCHOTT), then autoclave. Add bicarbonate, trace elements, selenite-tungstate, ammonium chloride, pyruvate and vitamins from stock solutions sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 6.8 using a sterile solution of sodium bicarbonate (10% w/v) or 1 N HCl.
2 After inoculation, add to the medium 5 - 10 units/ml catalase from a freshly prepared 1.00 mg/ml stock solution sterilized by filtration.
3 Note: Use at least 5 - 10% (v/v) inoculum and incubate in the dark without shaking.
