8. Simulation of ecological determinants for the cultivation of microorganisms

8.1 Taming and domesticating microbial diversity
  • Enrichment and isolation strategies.
  • Composition of microbial diets (media).

8.2 Simulating conditions for growth in culture
  • Static vs. continuous growth.
  • Natural enrichments as sources for microorganisms.
  • Evaluating diversity through enrichment culturing.
  • Active in nature but not culturable yet: a consequence of our limited knowledge of microbial ecology.
