1 Dissolve ingredients, except sulfur and yeast extract, bring medium to the boil, then cool to room temperature under 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture and adjust pH to 2.5 using 10 N H2SO4. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials (e.g., 20 ml medium in 100 ml serum bottles) containing already the appropriate amount of sulfur. For sterilization sealed bottles with medium are heated in a boiling water bath for 2 - 3 h on each of 3 successive days. Add yeast extract from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere.
2 Pressurize inoculated bottles to 1 bar overpressure with sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture.
3 Note: Inoculate with 5% (w/v) culture. Incubate without shaking.
