ABSTRACT:
Cultures of microorganisms can be grown in a body cavity by situating therein a nutrient on a suitable carrier while maintaining the nutrient exposed to a predetermined gaseous atmosphere, so that microorganisms which require a particular atmosphere can grow directly in the body cavity on the nutrient. After a time sufficient for culture growth the carrier with the nutrient thereon are removed from the body cavity and inspected, for example, under a microscope with suitable dyes being used to stain the growth for rendering the latter easily visible. The carrier for the nutrient may take the form of a plastic sheet material having small protuberances which are thicker than a nutrient layer carried by the plastic sheet material and which serve to maintain apart from each other surfaces of the plastic and nutrient which otherwise might engage each other to prevent exposure of the nutrient to the predetermined atmosphere. The article is preferably packaged in a container which has in its interior sufficient moisture to prevent drying of the nutrient, the interior of the container being closed off from the outer atmosphere by the sheet material which is used for the container.
