1 Mix components except NaHCO3 and bring to a boil for 5-10 sec. Cool down under a stream of H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v) and add NaHCO3 to the medium. Dispense the medium into culture vessels under a stream of H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v), seal with butyl rubber stoppers and autoclave. Prior to inoculation, add per liter the following solutions (autoclaved and stored under a N2 atmosphere):
Na2S x 9 H2O
(5%)

L-Cysteine HCl x H2O
(5%)
10.00 ml - -
2 Pressurize inoculated vessels to 200 kPa with a H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v) gas mixture.
