Anaerobic bacteria are of great interests in wide range of microbiology and yet anaerobic cultivation technique remains cumbersome. Here we report an alternative cultivation strategy based on a bioreactor with the entire operation including turbidity measurement, fluid mixing, gas delivery and data transmission in a gas tight anaerobic enclosure. The anaerobic condition is achieved with gas pack with no need of anaerobic cabinet. Such a cultivation strategy is demonstrated with Escherichia coli with different carbon sources and hydrogen as energy source.
