Improved agar bottle plate for isolation of methanogens or other anaerobes in a defined gas atmosphere.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A bottle plate for the cultivation of methanogens or other organisms in a defined pressurized-gas atmosphere was developed. The bottle provides the convenience of an agar streak plate, solves the problem of the water exudate from agar medium, and provides a convenient way of adding or sampling a defined gas atmosphere.

Anaerobic bag culture method.
In a new method of anaerobic culture, a transparent, gas-impermeable bag is used and the anaerobic environment is established with copper sulfate-saturated steel wool. An Alka-Seltzer tablet generates carbon dioxide. The agar plate surface can be inspected through the bag at any time without interrupting the anaerobic atmosphere or disturbing other specimens. Methylene blue indicator strips are...
متن کاملMultiple selective media for the isolation of anaerobic bacteria from clinical specimens.
Using fresh clinical material, a comparison of a number of anaerobic selective media was made. For Gram-negative anaerobes nalidixic acid tween agar (NAT), neomycin agar (NA), and neomycin-vancomycin agar (NVA) all performed equally well. Kanamycin-containing media were more inhibitory to all Gram-negative anaerobes other than Bacteroides fragilis and B. melaninogenicus. When the recovery of Gr...
متن کاملOxygen sensitivity of various anaerobic bacteria.
Anaerobes differ in their sensitivity to oxygen, as two patterns were recognizable in the organisms included in this study. Strict anaerobes were species incapable of agar surface growth at pO(2) levels greater than 0.5%. Species that were found to be strict anaerobes were Treponema macrodentium, Treponema denticola, Treponema oralis n. sp., Clostridium haemolyticum, Selenomonas ruminatium, But...
متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of the quick anaero-system-a new disposable anaerobic culture system.
BACKGROUND We developed a new disposable anaerobic culture system, namely, the Quick anaero-system, for easy culturing of obligate anaerobes. METHODS Our system consists of 3 components: 1) new disposable anaerobic gas pack, 2) disposable culture-envelope and sealer, and 3) reusable stainless plate rack with mesh containing 10 g of palladium catalyst pellets. To evaluate the efficiency of our...
متن کاملGrowth of Methanogens on Different Mars Regolith Analogues and Stable Carbon Isotope Fractionation during Methanogenesis
Introduction: The detection of methane in the Martian atmosphere (1-4) and the probability of the existence of liquid water during the early history of Mars (5-10) prompted enthusiasm about plausible life forms on Mars. The half-life of methane in a planetary atmosphere is about 300 years (11), so in order to be detected on Mars, methane would need to be replenished continuously. Several potent...
