1 Mix ingredients, except Trace vitamins, NaHCO3 and sulfur, adjust pH to 5.5, and autoclave. Filter-sterilize Trace vitamins and 5% NaHCO3 solution, and add to the medium. Steam sulfur for 3 hr on each of 3 successive days. Separately autoclave 5% Na2S x 9H2O solution under a N2 atmosphere. Distribute the medium into culture vessels (e.g., 20 ml of the medium in 120 ml serum bottles) containing sterilized sulfur under a stream of H2-CO2 (4:1, v/v) gas mixture, sparge for 5 min with the same gas mixture, and seal with butyl rubber stoppers. Prior to inoculation, add the sterilized Na2S x 9H2O solution to the medium, and pressurize to 200 kPa H2-CO2 (4:1, v/v). Readjust pH to 5.5, if necessary.
