| MJ(-N) synthetic seawater (see Medium No. 268) | 1.0 | L |
| NaNO3 | 1.0 | g |
| Na2S2O3·5H2O | 1.0 | g |
| NaHCO3 | 1.0 | g |

Mix ingredients except sulfur, adjust pH to 6.5 - 7.0 with NaOH and filter-sterilize. Steam sulfur for 3 hr on each of 3 successive days. Distribute the medium into culture vessels (e.g., 20 ml in 120 ml serum bottles) containing sulfur under a H2-CO2 (4:1, v/v) gas mixture, and seal with butyl rubber stoppers. Pressurize the inoculated bottles to 200 kPa H2-CO2 (4:1, v/v).
Comment: Adjust final pH to 7.0 (for strain JCM 12458) or 6.5 (for strain JCM 12459).
