1 Dissolve ingredients (except sulfur, lactate, carbonate, vitamins and sulfide), then sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Adjust pH to 5.9 and sterilize medium by heating for 2- 3 hours in a boiling water bath on each of 3 successive days. Add lactate, vitamins (sterilized by filtration) 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. Prior to use adjust pH of complete medium to 6.8 - 7.0, if necessary.
Solution occurs in 265 other media (first defined in Medium 320).
