METHODS AND DEVICE FOR DETECTION OF MICROORGANISMS Abstract A device adapted for containing a volume of growth medium and employed for detection of gas produced by a micro- organism or microorganisms putatively contained within a test sample and added to the growth medium, comprising a primary chamber, a dome defined by the top surface of the primary chamber and communicating therewith, the. dome establishing a fluid level and adapted for collection of gas produced by a microorganism within the growth medium, and a fill section adja- cent to and communicating with one end of the primary chamber, the fill section spaced apart from the dome and extending above the fluid level, and further defining an opening for the addi- tion of a test sample is disclosed. The device may be sealed by means of a removable closure. An apparatus consisting of an array of substantially identical devices is also disclosed. In addition, methods of using the device and apparatus for detect- ing and estimating numbers of microorganisms, and for analyzing samples putatively containing a. microorganism, are disclosed.
