Preparation

  1. Mix components thoroughly, except NaHCO3, and adjust pH to 6.5.
  2. Bring to a boil for 5-10 sec, then, cool down under a stream of H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v) and add NaHCO3 to the medium.
  3. Dispense the medium into suitable culture vessels (e.g., 5 ml medium in Hungate tubes) under the same gas mixture and seal with butyl rubber stoppers.
  4. After autoclaving, stand the medium overnight.
  5. Aseptically and anaerobically add per liter the following solutions (autoclaved and stored under a N2 atmosphere): Adjust pH of the medium to 6.7-7.0, if necessary.
  6. Pressurize the inoculated bottles to 200 kPa H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v).
