Biology of Anaerobic Bacteria and Predominant Propagation Practices
Culturing anaerobes in the laboratory can be challenging. Due to the copious growth requirements and the plethora of anaerobic organisms, knowing the optimal conditions for your anaerobic organism is essential. In this webinar, we will present the various methods to achieve successful growth conditions for a wide variety of anaerobes. We will consider topics such as common anaerobic gas mixtures, media selection, and obtaining anaerobic conditions in the lab. Taking into account individual laboratory constraints, we will also discuss several propagation methods available today. Using specific examples from the ATCC collection, we will demonstrate these techniques.
