NOVEL METHOD FOR CULTIVATING MICRO-ORGANISMS BY CONFINEMENT IN MICRO-BIOREACTORS
摘要
The present invention relates to a novel method for cultivating micro-organisms by confinement in micro-bioreactors. Said method comprises using a capillary tube in which a carrier fluid for moving a train of droplets forward flows, said capillary tube comprising micro-bioreactors in which the culture of said micro-organisms takes place, wherein said micro-bioreactors are separated by a spacing fluid which is a gas. The diameter of the micro-bioreactors (5) is smaller than that of the capillary tube (8) and the size of the bubble (6) of said spacing fluid is within a range of two to ten times the diameter of said capillary tube (8). The method can be used for cultivating micro-organisms such as thread-like fungi or planktonic algae.
