ABSTRACT:
Gas-generating or absorbing activity of microorganisms is detected by providing a vessel in which the microorganisms are incubated, the vessel having a cap with a membrane indicator therein. The membrane has a deformed region which is inflated to indicate the existence of a change in pressure within the vessel as compared with ambient pressure. Automatic monitoring of the inflated portion is disclosed.
