title: Improved agar bottle plate for isolation of methanogens or other anaerobes in a defined gas atmosphere.
abstract: 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.
