Application of continuous-flow culture in microecological research

Abstract

Abstract: The application of continuous flow culture in microbial ecology and its advances were reviewed.Continuous flow culture can be used to build in vitro models simulating ecosystems composed of normal bacteria such as human or animals intestinal and buccal bacteria,to examine the interactions between normal bacteria and pathogens,to investigate the physiological and biochemical traits of bacteria and their metabolic products,and to develop microecological preparations.

Key words: Continuous flow culture, Normal bacteria, Microecology
