“What's unique about it is that they don't just focus on [NTM] which is usually what the spotlight’s on. They're actually looking at a range of bacteria, both aerobic and anaerobic,” said Friedman.

the versatile BioFlo ® 310 fermentor from New Brunswick Scientific allows growth of a wide variety of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, including bacteria, plant, algae, fungi and yeast.
