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