1 Prepare the medium without NaHCO3, cysteine hydrochloride, Na2S x 9 H2O, and vitamin solution. Boil the medium and cool under N2. Add the NaHCO3 to the cooled medium and adjust the pH to about pH 7.2. Sterilise the medium at 100°C for 3 hours on 3 consecutive days. Reduce the medium by adding 10% neutralised sodium sulphide and cysteine hydrochloride from sterile stock solutions. The vitamins are added from a sterile (filter sterilised) stock solution prepared under nitrogen. The final pH is 7.2.
