Dissolve ingredients (except sulfur, vitamins and sulfide) and sparge medium with 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture for 30-45 min to make it anoxic. Adjust pH to 5.7, dispense under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas atmosphere into anoxic Hungate-type tubes or serum vials containing already the appropriate amount of sulfur and sterilize by heating for 2-3 hours in a boiling water bath. Add vitamins (sterilized by filtration) and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and bicarbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Prior to use adjust pH of complete medium to 6.5 with sterile, anaerobic NaHCO3 solution.
