TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to anaerobic culture system, especially designs a kind of microbial anaerobic culture system. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
[0002] Anaerobic microorganisms are a class of microorganisms that can grow normally in anoxic or low-oxygen environments. Facultative anaerobic microorganisms (facultative anaerobes) are microorganisms that can grow in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. They are widely present in nature, including the environment, soil, water sources and animals, and have important influence on human health and ecological systems. Most anaerobic microorganisms are bacteria, and a few are actinomycetes and mycoplasmas. They have different tolerance to oxygen and can be divided into obligate anaerobes, microaerophilic anaerobes and facultative anaerobes. Obligate anaerobes are extremely sensitive to oxygen and will die if exposed to aerobic environment; while facultative anaerobes can grow in aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The culture of anaerobic microorganisms requires special environment, such as the use of anaerobic jars, anaerobic bags or anaerobic glove boxes, etc., to exclude oxygen and create anaerobic conditions. Anaerobic microorganisms have very high requirements for culture environment, and often fail in laboratory culture because of the inability to prepare anaerobic environment or the failure to achieve anaerobic conditions. Anaerobic culture system has become an indispensable tool for microbiological research. However, the existing anaerobic culture environment preparation methods have high cost, inconvenient operation or cannot meet the absolute anaerobic requirements, and have not been completely popularized in practical application.
