Use of combusted natural gas to cultivate the anaerobic bacterial flora from the cecum contents of mice

Appl Microbiol. 1973 Oct;26(4):584-8. doi: 10.1128/am.26.4.584-588.1973.

Abstract

The use of combusted natural gas as atmosphere for cultivation of the anaerobic bacterial flora from the cecum of mice is described. The combusted gas (inert gas) continuously flushes a glove box in which it is possible to cultivate a number of strict anaerobes from the cecum of mice.
