I autoclave Sodium Tungstate before adding it to the media in order to sterilize it. Does it affect the metal solubility or uptake by the bacteria by any chance?

Does autoclaving salts of metal destroy them?

Possibly, but I doubt it. You could try filter sterilization.

If you don't see colour changes or precipitates after autoclaving should be ok.
PD: don't ask the same in different forums
