A recent publication has reported the fabrication of a new microbial culture device containing an array of unprecedented density - a million growth chambers. This micro-Petri chip should impact on various fields, including biotechnology, ecology, food microbiology and drug development, by enabling high-throughput screens and therefore the detection of rare phenotypes within a large population of microorganisms.
最近有一篇报道称制造出了一种新型微生物培养装置，该装置包含一系列密度前所未有的培养室——一百万个生长室。这种微型培养皿芯片通过实现高通量筛选，从而能够在大量微生物群体中检测出罕见表型，有望对包括生物技术、生态学、食品微生物学和药物开发在内的各个领域产生影响。
