Add and dissove cysteine, then 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 autoclave at 121°C for 20 min. Add peptone, fumarate and sulfide from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and carbonate from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 80% N2 and 20% CO2 gas mixture. Adjust pH of the complete medium to 7.0. For DSM 24444: Omit Trypticase peptone and fumarate. Increase amount of yeast extract to 2.0 g/l and supplement medium with 0.2 g/l Na-acetate and 0.6 g/l DL-lactate added after autoclaving from sterile anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas. For DSM 25546: Omit Trypticase peptone and fumarate. Increase amount of yeast extract to 2.0 g/l, supplement medium with 0.2 g/l Na-acetate and add 3.0 g/l D-xylose after autoclaving from anoxic stock solutions prepared under 100% N2 gas and sterilized by filtration. For DSM 29926: Supplement medium with 6.0 g/l D-glucose added to the medium after autoclaving from a sterile anoxic stock solution prepared under 100% N2 gas.
