Looking for flasks to perform bacteria growth

they are big flasks, glass or polycarbonate, and used as culturing vessels for algae and cyanobacteria etc. Similar in shape to your standard conical flasks, which is supposedly good for organisms that require a high surface area to volume ratio.
They are used a bit to make foods for aquaculture etc.

Designed for culturing organisms requiring a large surface area to volume ratio
• Can also be used in serum production
• Takes stopper size 13
Thomas number 4912L15 features a triple baffle on the bottom outside edges to achieve maximum oxygen transfer to culture medium.

It's like a short, squat Erlenmeyer flask. This link has a picture of one:
