1 Mix components thoroughly and distribute the medium into culture vessels (e.g., 20 ml medium in 100 ml serum bottles or 5.0 ml medium in Hungate tubes) under a stream of H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v), seal with butyl rubber stoppers and autoclave. Allow to stand the autoclaved medium overnight. Add per liter the following solution from a sterile anaerobic stock (filter-sterilized and stored under a N2 atmosphere):
Trimethylamine
