Candle jar
Some essential conditions for Campylobacter to grow:
1. CO2 5-10%
2. O2 5-10%
3. 42C
4. Humidity
5. Relatively long time -.-;;
As Kerry is also using the CO2 incubater as well (for Haemophilus influenza), I can't use 42C in CO2 incubater. Hence I have to consider candle jar.
Find a suitable plastic container (actually it was Virkon's container...), put agar plates and lit a short candle (make its height as low as possible so that it won't melt the plastic lid down) then put in normal (but 42C) incubater. That's it!
