Microbial Isolation & Cultivation

Microbial isolation and cultivation refer to the process of microorganism separating, purifying and cultivating in different media and culture conditions based on the traits and growth characteristics of microorganisms. Microbial isolation and culture technology is widely used in the fields of microbial environmental function research, the elucidation of metabolic pathways, the verification of specific functions, and the application of basic experiments and production practices.

The Importance of Microbial Isolation & Cultivation

There are many types of environmental microorganisms, and the total number is huge. An estimation of the number of microbial species is 10⁵-10⁶, but only a few thousand have been isolated in pure culture. Therefore, most microorganisms from the environment resist cultivation in the laboratory. These "uncultivables" account for more than 99% of all microbial species in nature. Phylogenetic analysis of rRNA sequences, especially 16S rRNA sequences, direct sampling from the environment, indicates that uncultivated organisms can be found in almost every taxon within the bacteria and archaea. At present, only a small part of microorganisms in nature can be separated and cultivated, which seriously hinders the research on the laws of microbial life activities and the development of microbial resources.

Considering that different microorganisms have different demands for energy, nutrition as well as physical and chemical conditions, it is necessary to improve the traditional separation and cultivation methods, adopt new isolation and cultivation techniques, improve the culture ability of microorganisms, and cultivate a large number of microorganisms that exist in nature. In this way, we can understand the life laws of microbial cells more comprehensively and accurately, learn the rules of dynamic interaction and mutual coordination between various microorganisms, and then accurately design, finely control and efficiently use environmental microbial technology.

The method of isolating and culturing microorganisms that could not be cultivated before is preferable. Such an approach will change microbiology by opening the door to microbial diversity, thereby revolutionizing pharmaceutical research and development.
