Hi Phil:
The name of the company that supplies reagents and media for growing
anaerobes is:
Oxyrase, Inc.
P.O. Box 1345
Mansfield, OH 44901
Voice: (419) 589-8800
Fax: (419) 589-9919
Oxyrase is an enzyme system that selectively and effectively removes
oxygen from bacteriological media. Oxyrase allows one to work without
jars or bags and to incubate cultures in a standard, aerobic incubator.
Products are available for broth and agar. For surface plating, a
special dish (OxyDish) is needed. For pour plating, a standard culture
dish can be used.
If you would like more information you can contact me by email
(jamcop at worldnet.att.net) or at the above location.
Best regards.
Jim Copeland
