Microbial Culturomics
Microbial culturomics lab: We have set up several anaerobic chambers dedicated for highthroughput microbiota culture and library development. Our culturomics method is able to isolate 70% of functional diversity of human microbiota. Our method is applicable to agriculturally imporant secies as well. Example papers are PMID: 32019832 and PMID: 32031212
Host-free Models of Gut Microbiome
Assembly of 12 Drip flow bioreactors
Assembly of 24 Minibioreactor arrays
We use bioreactors as the host-free systems to model microbiota assembly, succession and pertubation. Drip flow bioreactors are used to model the microbiota interaction on the gut mucosal interface. Minibioreactor arrays are used model the interactions in the lumen of the hind gut. Example paper PMID: 34659185
Gnotobiology
Germfree mice isolator
Germfree pig isolator
Germfree chicken isolator
Our lab use multiple germfree models to understand the consequence of host-micorbiota interaction. Germfree models of mice, pig and chicken are available. Example paper PMID: 30918057
