| 1 Dissolve hydrogen carbonate, carbonate, sodium chloride, and hydrogen phosphate, then sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense solution under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After sterilization add ammonium chloride, magnesium chloride, yeast extract, trace elements, glycerol, vitamins, and sulfide from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas. The vitamin solution should be sterilized by filtration. Sulfur is sterilized by steaming for 3 hours on each of 3 successive days (see medium 35) and added aseptically to the sterile medium as powder while retaining anoxic conditions. Adjust the pH of the complete medium to 9.8 - 10.0, if necessary. | |||||
