Iron stock solution (see Medium No. 228)  5.0     ml
Trace minerals solution (see below)  10.0     ml
Trace vitamins (see Medium No. 197)  10.0     ml
Na2S2O3·5H2O  1.0     g
Yeast extract (BD-Difco)  2.0     g
2-Mercaptoethanol  0.4     g
Resazurin  1.0     mg
Distilled water  1.0     L
Mix ingredients except Na2S2O3·5H2O, yeast extract, Trace vitamins and 2-mercaptoethanol, and adjust pH to 6.0. Bring to a boil for 5-10 sec, then, cool down under a stream of H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v). Dispense the medium into suitable culture vessels under a stream of H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v), seal with butyl rubber stoppers and autoclave 115C for 40 min. Separately autoclave Na2S2O3·5H2O and 2-mercaptoethanol as 50 g/L solutions and yeast extract as 100 g/L solution under a N2 atmosphere. Filter-sterilize Trace vitamins and store under a N2 atmosphere. Prior to inoculation, aseptically and anaerobically add the Na2S2O3·5H2O, yeast extract, Trace vitamins and 2-mercaptoethanol solutions to the medium. Pressurize the inoculated bottles to 200 kPa H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v).
