Summary The construction of a bench‐top unit for the isolation and study of strictly anaerobic micro‐organisms is described. The unit comprises a flexible plastic working chamber with shoulder length neoprene gloves and a stainless steel entry port. The unit has been used to isolate strictly anaerobic bacteria from a variety of human sources. Particular attention has been paid to the recovery of Bacteroides and Fusobacterium from specimens, and procedures for the identification of these bacteria are described.
