1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, pyruvate, lactate, yeast extract, thiosulfate, vitamins and dithionite), then sparge medium with 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials up to a volume of 20% and autoclave. Add pyruvate, lactate, yeast extract, thiosulfate and vitamins to the autoclaved medium from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate and dithionite from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Solutions of vitamins, thiosulfate and dithionite are sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 6.7.
2 After inoculation pressurize vessels to 2 bar overpressure with sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture.

1 Add 1 N NaOH to distilled water and make the solution anoxic by sparging with 100% N2 gas. Then dissolve the Na-dithionite and filter sterilize the solution into anoxic Hungate tubes. Store the prepared solution in a dark and cool place. Prepare only small amounts of stock solution, as Na-dithionite decomposes rapidly.
