1 Dissolve ingredients (except ferrous sulfate, sucrose, sulfite, and thiosulfate), adjust pH to 6.8 - 7.5, and sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add ferrous sulfate, then dispense medium under the same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After sterilization add sucrose, sulfite, and thiosulfate from anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and sterilized by filtration. The stock solution of sulfite should be freshly prepared.
