Dispense under same gas atmosphere into Hungate-type tubes or serum vials and autoclave. After sterilization add glucose and sulfide from anoxic stock solutions autoclaved under 100% N2 gas and vitamins from a filter-sterilized anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2. Adjust pH of complete medium to 6.0 - 6.5, if necessary. For DSM 8683, DSM 8684, DSM 16487: Adjust pH of complete medium to 5.5.
