1 Dissolve ingredients (except bicarbonate, glucose, yeast extract, vitamins and sulfide), then sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30 - 45 min to make it anoxic. Add bicarbonate, adjust pH to 6.5 and dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After autoclaving add glucose, yeast extract, vitamins, and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. Vitamins should be sterilized by filtration. Prior to inoculation adjust pH of complete medium to 6.5 - 6.7, if necessary.
