1 Prepare the medium anaerobically under 100% nitrogen. The following constituents are prepared separately and added to the autoclaved mineral salt solution: Yeast extract (20 ml of 10% w/v solution)-boiled for a few minutes not autoclaved; sulfur (10 g)-sterilized by steaming for 3 h on each of three successive days; Na2S x 9 H2O (10 ml of 3% w/v solution)-autoclaved under nitrogen atmosphere.
2 Adjust final pH to 7.2.
