1 Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, glucose, vitamins, and cysteine, then sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add glucose, vitamins (sterilized by filtration), and cysteine from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Prior to use adjust pH of complete medium to 7.3 - 7.5, if necessary.
2 Note: For transfers use 5 - 10% (v/v) inoculum.
