1 Dissolve ingredients (except sulfur, bicarbonate, vitamins and sulfide), then sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Adjust pH to 6.2 - 6.4, and dispense medium under 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials containing already the appropriate amount of sulfur. Sterilize medium by heating cultivation vessels in a boiling water bath for 2 - 3 hours on each of 3 successive days. After sterilization add bicarbonate from a sterile stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Vitamins (sterilized by filtration) and sulfide are added to the medium from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Adjust pH of complete medium to 6.5, if necessary.
