1 Autoclave Basal medium supplemented with Trace element solution, Selenite-tungstate solution and resazurin under N2-CO2 (4:1, v/v). Separately autoclave glucose, yeast extract and tryptone (10% each) and add to the medium. Filter-sterilize Trace vitamins and NaHCO3 (8%) solution and add to the medium. Steam sulfur for 3 hr on each of 3 successive days. Distribute the medium into culture vessels containing sulfur under a N2-CO2 (4:1, v/v) gas mixture and seal with butyl rubber stoppers. Before inoculation, reduce the medium with 5% Na2S x 9H2O solution (autoclaved under a N2 atmosphere). Readjust pH to 7.2, if necessary.
