| 1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, crotonate, coenzyme M, vitamins and sulfide), then sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into Hungate-type tubes or serum vials (e.g., 5 ml medium in Balch-type tubes) and autoclave. Add crotonate, coenzyme M, vitamins and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Stock solutions of crotonate, coenzyme M and vitamins should be sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.0 - 7.2. | |||||
