1 Mix components thoroughly, and autoclave under a N2-CO2 (80:20, v/v) gas atmosphere. After cooling, aseptically and anaerobically add the following solutions (autoclaved or *filter-sterilized):
KH2PO4
(10%)
2.00 ml - -
NaHCO3
(*, 8%)
32.00 ml - -
Vitamin solution
(*)
10.00 ml - -
2 Aseptically distribute the medium into culture vessels under a H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v) gas mixture and seal with butyl rubber stoppers (leave >80% gas phase by volume). Finally, add per liter the following solutions from anaerobic stocks (autoclaved and stored under a N2 atmosphere):
L-Cysteine HCl x H2O
(5%)
6.00 ml - -
Na2S x 9 H2O
(5%)
6.00 ml - -
3 Pressurize the inoculated vessels to 200 kPa H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v).
