Abstract

Anaerobic bacteria are now known to be far more diverse and to possess greater metabolic capabilities then was generally believed even a few years ago. Research published in the past decade has revealed a variety of potentially useful catabolic activities as well as environmental impacts that were long considered improbable under anoxic conditions. The development of this area of microbiological research was made possible by the application of anaerobic techniques that permit the manipulation and cultivation of the most oxygen and redox sensitive microorganisms. The purpose of this review is to present the methods of anaerobic microbiology in sufficient detail to permit the interested, but inexperienced investigator, to enter this field of research.
