一種新系統(tǒng)包含空氣激活、大氣生成的小袋和密封容器，被設(shè)計用于培養(yǎng)厭氧微生物。無需催化劑無需水。

要成功培養(yǎng)厭氧和微厭氧微生物，依賴于合適的大氣條件。Oxoid公司(Basingstoke, UK)研發(fā)了AnaeroGen系統(tǒng)，這是一種大氣生成系統(tǒng)，能夠快速反應(yīng)生成<1%的氧氣，在30分鐘內(nèi)添加二氧化碳，適合培養(yǎng)生長條件苛刻的厭氧微生物。Oxoid公司的CampyGen產(chǎn)生微厭氧大氣，十分適合彎曲桿菌屬的生長，而Oxoid公司的CO2Gen生成濃縮厭氧環(huán)境，能夠改善生長條件苛刻微生物的生長，例如嗜血桿菌屬和奈瑟球菌屬。
 
Atmosphere-Generation System Promotes Anaerobic Growth
 
A new system consisting of air-activated, atmosphere-generating sachets and sealed containers is designed for the culture of anaerobic organisms. No catalysts are needed and no water is required.

Successful culture of anaerobic and microaerophilic organisms relies on achieving the right atmospheric conditions. Oxoid (Basingstoke, UK) has developed AnaeroGen, an atmosphere-generation system, which reacts rapidly to produce an atmosphere of < 1% oxygen supplemented with carbon dioxide within 30 minutes, facilitating the culture of fastidious and obligate anaerobes. Oxoid CampyGen produces a microaerobic atmosphere ideal for the growth of Campylobacter species, while Oxoid CO2Gen achieves an enriched aerobic environment that improves the growth of fastidious organisms such as Haemophilus and Neisseria species.
