  abstract = {{T}his work describes a novel, simple and cost-effective culture system, named the {M}icro-{O}xygenated {C}ulture {D}evice ({MOCD}), designed to grow microorganisms under particularly challenging oxygenation conditions. {T}wo microaerophilic magnetotactic bacteria, a freshwater {M}agnetospirillum gryphiswaldense strain {MSR}-1 and a marine {M}agnetospira sp. strain {QH}-2, were used as biological models to prove the efficiency of the {MOCD} and to evaluate its specifications. {U}sing the {MOCD}, growth rates of {MSR}-1 and {QH}-2 increased by four and twofold, respectively, when compared to traditional growing techniques using simple bottles. {O}xystat-bioreactors have been typically used and specifically designed to control low dissolved oxygen concentrations, however, the {MOCD}, which is far less sophisticated was proven to be as efficient for both {MSR}-1 and {QH}-2 cultures with regard to growth rate, and even better for {MSR}-1 when looking at cell yield (70% increase). {T}he {MOCD} enables a wide range of oxygenation conditions to be studied, including different {O}-2-gradients. {T}his makes it an innovative and ingenious culture device that opens up new parameters for growing microaerobic microorganisms.},
