1 Dissolve ingredients except trace elements and sulfur. Adjust pH with 6 N H2SO4 to 2.5, dispense into suitable cultivation vessels and autoclave. After autoclaving add filter-sterilized trace elements solution (see below) and sterile sulfur powder. For sterilization place the sulfur in screw-capped tubes or bottles, wet with a few drops of water and heat for 3 hours to 90 - 100°C in a water bath on each of three successive days. Before use, aseptically layer the sulfur onto the surface of the autoclaved liquid basal medium.
