1 Dissolve ingredients except cysteine, bicarbonate, carbonate, trimethylamine and sulfide, then sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add cysteine and dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Add trimethylamine and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas, whereas bicarbonate and carbonate are added from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere. Adjust pH of complete medium to 9.2 - 9.4.
