1 Dissolve ingredients except sulfur, yeast extract, vitamins and sulfide, then adjust the pH to 3.5 with 4 N H2SO4. Sparge medium with 100% N2 gas for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic, then dispense under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials which contain already the appropriate amount of sulfur, only to 30% of their volume to allow for a large headspace. Autoclave at 105°C for 20 min. Prior to inoculation add yeast extract, vitamins (sterilized by filtration) and sulfide from anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas atmosphere. The final pH of the complete medium should be around 4.0.
2 After inoculation, pressurize the cultivation vessels to 1 bar overpressure with sterile 80% H2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture.
