Now, the inoculation method will be explained based on this diagram. First, put the inoculation container 4, diaphragm 5, one side of the coupler 3, the valve 6, and one side of the coupler 7, which have been sterilized in advance in an autoclave or the like, into a safety cabinet, open the coupler 3, and pour the inoculum into the inoculation container 4. Put it in one of the rooms. Next, the inoculation device which is made up of the inoculation container 4 containing the inoculum, the diaphragm 5, the coupler 3, the valve 6, and the coupler 7 is brought close to the tank 1, and the inoculation port 2 is placed in a flame with the coupler 3. Install it with Further, the coupler 7 is connected to the gas supply line 8. At this time, the valve 6 is in a closed state. Opening both roads of Katsupura 3,
After completing preparations for inoculation, open valve 6.
Compressed air is supplied to the chamber of the inoculation container 4 that does not contain the inoculum. With this, the diaphragm 5
is pressed, and the seed culture is put into the fermenter 1. After this injection is completed, the coupler 3 is closed and removed from the inoculation port 2 under the flame. Also, remove the cutlet placket 7. This completes the inoculation operation. The inoculation device is then sterilized and stored for the next inoculation.

According to this embodiment, since the inoculation operation is performed in a completely closed state, the inoculum can be inoculated into the tank without exposing it to the outside air. Furthermore, this device has a very simple structure, consisting of an inoculation container having a chamber partitioned into two by a diaphragm, two couplers, and a gas adjustment valve. Moreover, the inoculum can be added to the layer by opening the valve, and the inoculation process can be carried out with a very simple operation.
