1 Dissolve ingredients except MOPS, vitamins, cysteine and sulfide in a total volume of 890 ml. The MOPS buffer is dissolved separately in 90 ml of distilled water, the pH is adjusted to 7.0 with 2 M KOH, then add the buffer to the salt solution. Sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, then dispense medium in anoxic Hungate-type tubes under the same gas atmosphere to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Add vitamins (sterilized by filtration), cysteine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Prior to use check pH of complete medium and adjust to 7.0, if necessary.
2 After inoculation add sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to 1 bar overpressure.
