0.1	g	MgCl2 x 6 H2O	
1	g	NH4Cl	
0.2	g	KCl	
16	g	NaCl	
1	ml	**Trace element solution SL-11**	
0.2	g	Yeast extract	
0.5	ml	Sodium resazurin (0.1% w/v)

1	g	Na2S x 9 H2O	
1000	ml	Distilled water	

1. Dissolve ingredients except carbonate, bicarbonate, ethanol, vitamins and sulfide. Sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add and dissolve carbonates and sulfide while gassing the head space only. Dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. Before use add ethanol and vitamins from sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas. Vitamins are sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 9.5 - 10.0, if necessary.
