1 Dissolve ingredients (except carbonate, vitamins, cysteine, and DTT) and sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials to 30% of their volume and autoclave. Add vitamins (sterilized by filtration), cysteine, and DTT 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. The pH of the complete medium should be 7.0.
2 After inoculation pressurize vials to 1 bar overpressure with sterile 100% H2 gas.
