1 Mix ingredients except NaHCO3 and Na2S x 9H2O, and bring to a boil for 5 min, then, cool down under a stream of a H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v) gas mixture. Distribute the medium into culture vessels (e.g., 20 ml of the medium in 120 ml serum bottles) under the same gas mixture, seal with butyl rubber stoppers and autoclave. Filter-sterilize NaHCO3 as an 8% solution while gassing with N2-CO2 (80:20, v/v). Separately autoclave 5% Na2S x 9H2O solution under a N2 atmosphere. Aseptically and anaerobically add the NaHCO3 solution to the medium and readjust pH to 7.6 - 7.8 with a sterile 1% Na2CO3 solution (stocked anaerobically). Prior to inoculation, add the sterile Na2S x 9H2O solution. Pressurize inoculated bottles to 200 kPa H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v).
