Microanaerostat

A microanaerostat is a laboratory instrument that is used to create anaerobic media. It is a mini-chamber that creates a closed environment containing nutrients necessary for bacterial growth. The discovery of this device has significantly expanded the possibilities of research in the field of microbiology, since it is possible to study metabolic processes and metabolism in bacteria - organisms that multiply very quickly. If the bacteria do not have enough oxygen, they will begin to convert glucose into lactic acid through bacterial respiration of anaerobes. But due to the increased activity of microorganisms, most often there is premature use of all the nutrients in the vessel and the death of microorganisms. In this case, nutrition is carried out by autotrophs. Thus, we see that in an incomplete environment, bacteria will be in a state of suspended animation. That is, it is not active, but sleeps without consuming nutrients. The device allows you to study key aspects of bacterial behavior, such as growth, metabolism, adhesion and protection against antibiotics. Except
