Mix components thoroughly and autoclave under a N₂-CO₂ (4:1, v/v) gas atmosphere. After cooling, add the following solutions (autoclaved or *filter-sterilized):

8% NaHCO₃ solution*	`30.0`	ml
1 M MgCl₂·6H₂O solution	`2.5`	ml
1 M CaCl₂·2H₂O solution	`1.0`	ml

Aseptically and anaerobically, distribute the medium into culture vessels under the same gas mixture (e.g., 20 ml in 60 ml-serum bottles) and seal with butyl rubber stoppers. Prior to use, add per liter the following solution to reduce the medium (autoclaved and stored under N₂):

5% Na₂S·9H₂O solution 5.0 ml
