A microbial culture system for use in remote field environments.
Field studies of human flora carried out in remote environments are often compromised by problems associated with media, equipment or cargo limitations. For the International Biomedical Expedition to Antarctica an anaerobic culture system was developed based on sealed vials, pre-reduced anaerobicall...
