Description

Closed microbial culture device and microbial culture method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of microbial culture, in particular to a closed microbial culture device with adjustable environmental factors and a microbial culture method.
Background
Microorganisms are a large group of organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, some small protists, microalgae and the like, and the microorganisms are tiny in individuals and have great influence on the aspects of global environmental evolution, mineral resource formation, ecological environment change, industrial and agricultural production, human health and the like. Research related to microorganisms now involves many fields such as petroleum, mineral products, chemical industry, biology, medicine, food, industry and agriculture, and environmental protection. The cultivation of microorganisms in specific environments is also considered to be an important technical means of current scientific research.
The living environment of the microorganisms includes various environmental factors such as temperature, pressure, gas, water, illumination and the like, and the environmental factors directly influence the culture efficiency of the microorganisms. But these environmental factors may not be the same as the current earth environment. In order to correctly recognize the living environment and action mechanism of microorganisms, closed microorganism culture with adjustable environmental factors is necessary. Most of the existing microorganism incubators sold in the market are heating type constant temperature incubators, and the adjustable environmental factors are very limited. For example, the published Chinese patent with application number of 201810487432.8 and the name of constant temperature microbe incubator for avoiding cross contamination can be simply adjusted in environmental parameters such as temperature and illumination, but the parameters related to the living environment of microbes such as the atmosphere and water body can not be freely set.
Microbial culture is generally a continuous experiment within a certain time range, and requires multiple sets of comparisons to grasp growth curves of microbes under different environmental factors and screen out the most favorable environmental factors. The existing closed microorganism incubator mostly provides a box space for placing a microorganism culture dish, and is not a direct culture space. Consequently constantly open at the incubator, the sample in-process, the atmosphere and the water environment of culture dish can receive the interference, easily cause cross contamination or cultivate the environment out of control, and then influence the result of cultivateing. In order to avoid cross contamination, experimenters often need to culture multiple microorganism samples under the same environmental element. Therefore, the process of the microorganism culture experiment with special environmental elements is extremely complicated, and the strict consistency of all the set parameters of the parallel samples with the same environmental elements is difficult to ensure. In addition, the number of the used microorganism incubators is exponentially increased in the experimental process, but the efficiency is low.
