    摘要: The invention relates to a system and a method for production of volatile natural compounds using microorganisms grown on solid growth media. The system comprises a flask with one open end arranged to receive a solid growth medium and a closure arranged to fit in said open end of the flask, said closure being configured to receive two separated, different liquids. The container allows sealing in order to prevent the produced VOCs from escaping the container. The method comprises at least the following steps:
    a) preparation of the container and a suitable solid growth medium,
    b) growth of a selected microbial strain,
    c) inoculation of the microbial strain onto the solid growth medium,
    d) filling the closure with water and a suitable organic solvent separately,
    e) sealing, and
    f) incubation, wherein VOCs are present in the organic solvent.
