Dissolve ingredients (except bicarbonate, trypticase, vitamins and sulfide), then sparge medium with 80% N₂ and 20% CO₂ gas mixture for 30-45 min to make it anoxic. Dispense medium under same gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After autoclaving add Trypticase, vitamins and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N₂ gas atmosphere and bicarbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N₂ and 20% CO₂ gas mixture. Vitamins are sterilized by filtration. Adjust pH of complete medium to 6.0-6.1, if necessary.
