Description

Reactor for culturing intestinal flora and method for culturing intestinal flora by using same
Technical Field
The invention relates to a reactor for culturing intestinal flora and a method for culturing the intestinal flora by using the same, belonging to the technical field of biological fermentation.
Background
Over 100 million microorganisms exist on the body surface and in the body, and these microorganisms and humans are symbiotic and play an important role in human health and disease. These microbiota, in particular the intestinal microbiota, are considered to be a "silent organ" in the human body. The intestinal flora carries about 100-150 times the number of genes of human own. Intestinal flora performs different physiological functions in different intestinal segments of the body. The intestinal flora can help the body to obtain more energy from the food and increase the nutrition acquisition. The intestinal flora can provide different metabolic pathways for organisms, contains more metabolic functional genes than human beings, can provide specific enzymes and biochemical pathways, such as further degradation of indigestible carbohydrates (macromolecular polysaccharides) in the organisms, and participate in vitamin biosynthesis. The intestinal flora also provides a physical barrier to the body. The intestinal flora may protect the host from foreign pathogens by competitive inhibition and secretion of antibacterial substances. Finally, the intestinal flora is also essential in the development of the intestinal mucosa and immune system of the host. Recent studies have shown that the intestinal flora is involved in the whole physiological process of humans, including regulation of metabolic phenotypes, regulation of epithelial development and innate immunity. Chronic diseases such as obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer are all considered to be associated with intestinal microbiota.
