Dissolve ingredients except bicarbonate, sodium thiosulfate, vitamins, and DTT. Sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add and dissolve bicarbonate, then dispense medium into anoxic tubes to 30% of their volume under 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere and autoclave. Add thiosulfate, vitamins and DTT from anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and sterilized by filtration. Prior to use check pH of completed medium and adjust to 6.0, if necessary. 2. After inoculation add sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture to 2 bar overpressure. ## Modified Wolin's mineral solution 1.5 g Nitrilotriacetic acid 3 g MgSO4 x 7 H2O 0.5 g MnSO4 x H2O 1 g NaCl 0.1 g FeSO4 x 7 H2O 0.18 g CoSO4 x 7 H2O 0.1 g CaCl2 x 2 H2O 0.18 g ZnSO4 x 7 H2O 0.01 g CuSO4 x 5 H2O 0.02 g AlK(SO4)2 x 12 H2O 0.01 g H3BO3 0.01 g Na2MoO4 x 2 H2O 0.03 g NiCl2 x 6 H2O 0.3 mg Na2SeO3 x 5 H2O 0.4 mg Na2WO4 x 2 H2O 1000 ml Distilled water 1.
