Abstract

The design and construction of an anaerobic CO2 cabinet are described. Air is displaced by a stream of oxygen-free CO2, and anerobic conditions are produced in 3 hr. The equipment is simple and cheap to operate and has been found to be satisfactory for the isolation of strict anaerobes from the mouse intestine.
