On the Application of Biological 96-well Phenotype Microarray Carbon Source Plates

There is a powerful tool for biological research today, called Biolog 96-well Phenotype Microarray Carbon Source Plates. It is of great significance to microbial research.

With this 96-well plate, it can simultaneously measure the metabolic phenotypes of various microorganisms to different carbon sources. Each hole is equipped with different carbon source substrates. After inoculating microorganisms, they are cultured appropriately to observe their growth and changes. From the differences in the utilization of carbon sources by microorganisms, its metabolic characteristics and physiological characteristics can be known.

Taking a bacteria research as an example, take the plate and connect purified bacteria into each hole strictly according to the operating procedures. In the constant temperature culture room, the strains are in different carbon source environments, and each has the ability to metabolize. If a hole carbon source is favored by bacteria, the growth trend is prosperous, and the liquid in the hole changes color or turbidity, this is a sign of microbial utilization of carbon sources; on the contrary, if the carbon source is not suitable, the growth is sluggish, and the phenomenon is also different.

According to the obtained results, the metabolic pathways of microorganisms are analyzed to clarify their ecological adaptability. In industrial fermentation, according to its carbon source preference, the fermentation process can be optimized to increase the yield of yield; in environmental monitoring, the carbon source utilization spectrum of microbial communities can be observed, and ecological changes can be known. Biolog 96 - well Phenotype Microarray Carbon Source Plates is actually a good aid for microbial research, which can open up new paths for scientific research and promote multi-domain
