Preparation of Sulfur: Autoclave sulfur for 15 min at 0 psi pressure–100°C on three successive days.

Preparation of Medium: Prepare anaerobically under a gas phase of 80% N2 + 10% CO2 + 10% H2.

Add components, except sulfur, to distilled/deionized water and bring volume to 1.0L. Mix thoroughly. Gently heat while stirring and bring to boiling.

Autoclave for 15 min at 15 psi pressure–121°C. Cool to 50–55°C. Aseptically add 10.0g of sterile sulfur.

Mix thoroughly. Aseptically and anaerobically, under a gas phase of 80% N2 + 10% CO2 + 10% H2, distribute into sterile tubes.

Use: For the cultivation and maintenance of Thermococcus litoralis.
