Dissolve components except sodium lactate and sodium dithionite in 900 ml distilled water and adjust pH to 9.0 with NaOH. Bring to a boil, and cool down under a N2 gas stream. Distribute the medium into culture vessels (e.g., 9 ml of the medium in Hungate tubes) under N2, seal with butyl rubber stoppers and autoclave. Separately autoclave 0.2 M sodium lactate under a N2 atmosphere. After cooling, add 1/9 volume of the sodium lactate solution to the medium. Readjust pH to 9.0, if necessary. Prior to use, reduce the medium with a freshly prepared, filter-sterilize 1% sodium dithionite solution.
