| | Mix ingredients except for vitamin, sulfur and bicarbonate. Dispense the medium into suitable culture vessels under a stream of H2/CO2 (80/20), seal with butyl rubber stoppers, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 min. After cooling to room temperature, the pH is adjusted to 6.5 by adding of sterile pH-adjusting agent with a syringe without opening the vessel. Sulfur is separately sterilized by autoclaving for 60 min at 105°C on each of 3 successive days. Sterilize vitamin and bicarbonate solutions by filtration. Prior to inoculation, aseptically and anaerobically add the vitamin, sulfur and bicarbonate to the medium, and pressurize the vessels to 350 kPa with H2/CO2. |
