2 Readjust pH to 7.5, if necessary. Separately autoclave and dry iron metal (grain). Aseptically distribute the medium and iron metal into culture vessels (e.g., 10 ml medium and 100 mg iron in Hungate tubes) under a N2 gas stream and seal with butyl rubber stoppers. Prior to use, add per liter the following solution:
