1 Incubate all used glass ware and magnetic stirring rods in 0.1 M HCl and rinse 3x with double distilled water to remove residual detergents (always check visual for soap bubbles).
2 Autoclave the basic salt water medium and cool to room temperature. This medium should be free of any precipitations!
3 Aseptically, add per L of basic salt water medium the following solutions from sterile stocks (do not store complemented SCM): Trace element solution (Nitrososphaera), FeNaEDTA solution, NaHCO3 solution, HEPES buffer solution, NH4Cl solution, KH2PO4 solution
4 Adjust pH to 7.6.
