[A device for safe handling of vacuum-dried microbes (author's transl)]. 1975

H Eyer, and M Schmidt

By analogous application of the way of packing which is common for the transportation of infectious material (glass tubes in protective covers) in the handling of vaccuum-dried microbes (ampoule within the ampoule) the risk encountered when opening such receptacles may be reduced to an almost complete absence. Technical details are explained by a schematic representation. The method is suitable for the preservation of freeze-dried vaccines. All processes involved in the practical performance of the method which is ready for routine application are considered in detailed instructions for use.

D001419	Bacteria	One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive.	Eubacteria
