1 Mix ingredients, except Trace vitamins, KHCO3, L-cysteine x HCl x H2O and Na2S x 9H2O, and adjust pH to 7.0. Bring to a boil for 5-10 sec, then, cool down under a stream of N2-CO2 (80:20) and add KHCO3. Dispense the medium into suitable culture vessels (e.g., 50 ml of the medium in 120 ml serum bottles) under a stream of N2-CO2 (80:20) and seal with butyl rubber stoppers. After autoclaving, stand the medium overnight. Separately autoclave cysteine x HCl and Na2S x 9H2O as 5% solutions, respectively, under a N2 atmosphere. Filter-sterilize Trace vitamins under a N2 atmosphere. Prior to inoculation, aseptically and anaerobically add Trace vitamins, L-cysteine x HCl x H2O and Na2S x 9H2O solutions. Pressurize the inoculated bottles to 100 kPa N2-CO2 (80:20).
