Culture Aeration in Polythermostat

PMCID: PMC546853  PMID: 5340162

Abstract

A system for the aeration of cultures growing in a polythermostat temperature-gradient block was developed. This system provided both aeration and agitation of the cultures, while allowing the growth to be followed spectrophotometrically. The necessity for aeration of cultures growing in a polythermostat was experimentally shown.
