An inexpensive device suitable for sampling microorganisms in water and easily constructed from readily available laboratory equipment is described. The need to transfer subsamples to culturing flasks after collection is eliminated by partly filling the sampling vessels with growth medium prior to sampling. The device is readily adapted for sampling different volumes, is simple and quick to operate, and is suitable for use with prereduced media. Contamination from layers others than that being sampled is insignificant.
本文描述了一种价格低廉、适用于采集水中微生物的装置,该装置易于用现成的实验室设备构建。在采样前,通过向采样容器中部分填充生长培养基,消除了采集后将子样本转移到培养瓶的需求。该装置易于适应不同体积的采样,操作简单快捷,适用于预还原培养基。除采样层之外的其他层的污染可忽略不计。
