title: Convenient anaerobic techniques, science from the supermarket shelf.
abstract: We describe the application and evaluation of a widely available commercial jar as an anaerobic container suitable for the growth of a wide variety of anaerobes. A system for generating stable anaerobiosis was developed by combining standard anaerobic environment generators with Click-Clack jars produced by Click-Clack Ltd. This system was simple, reliable, and reduced capital outlay on anaerobic jars by at least an order of magnitude.
