In vivo studies of human mucosal gut microbiota are often limited to end-point analyses and confounded by bowel cleansing procedures. Therefore, we used biofilm reactors to incorporate a simulated mucosal environment into an in vitro gut chemostat model. Communities developed were complex, reproducible, distinct, and representative of in vivo communities.
对人类肠道黏膜微生物群的体内研究通常仅限于终点分析,并且会受到肠道清洁程序的干扰。因此,我们使用生物膜反应器将模拟的黏膜环境纳入体外肠道恒化器模型。所形成的群落复杂、可重复、独特,并且代表了体内群落。
