| Resazurin | 1.0 | mg |
| Distilled water | 946.0 | ml |
Mix components thoroughly, and autoclave under a N2-CO2 (80:20, v/v) gas atmosphere. After cooling, aseptically and anaerobically add the following solutions (autoclaved or *filter-sterilized):
| 10% KH2PO4 solution | 2.0 | ml |
| 8% NaHCO3 solution* | 32.0 | ml |
| Vitamin solution* (see below) | 10.0 | ml |
Aseptically distribute the medium into culture vessels under a H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v) gas mixture and seal with butyl rubber stoppers (leave >80% gas phase by volume). Finally, add per liter the following solutions from anaerobic stocks (autoclaved and stored under a N2 atmosphere):
| 5% L-Cysteine·HCl·H2O solution | 6.0 | ml |
| 5% Na2S·9H2O solution | 6.0 | ml |
Pressurize the inoculated vessels to 200 kPa H2-CO2 (80:20, v/v).
