Summary
A ‘rotator’ culture method is described which provides a continuous flow of oxygenating gas to cultures in rotating bottles. The system maintains constant O2 and CO2 levels in the culture medium throughout the incubation period. It also provides a more stable pH than systems with sealed culture bottles.
