Problems solved by technology

However, because the gas pipeline and the culture pipeline are stacked in parallel, it increases the difficulty of aligning the package between the upper and lower layers of the chip, especially when there are a large number of culture pipelines, precise alignment is more difficult
Uncertainty in the variation of the horizontal distance between the gas pipeline and the culture pipeline will also change the gas diffusion distance, thereby affecting the dissolved oxygen content in the pipeline
In addition, the chip is still based on the static cell culture mode, which is not suitable for suspension culture of microorganisms

Abstract

The invention discloses a microfluidic microbe culture chip. The microbe culture chip comprises a liquid flow layer, a pneumatic control layer, and an elastic gas-permeable membrane, wherein the liquid flow layer is provided with more than one culture units; a gas-supplying pipeline is distributed in the pneumatic control layer; the gas-supplying pipeline intersects with the culture units; the culture units in the intersecting points are closed due to insufficient oxygen pressure fed by the gas-supplying pipeline; the elastic gas-permeable membrane is formed between the liquid flow layer and the pneumatic control layer; and oxygen in the gas-supplying pipeline permeates the elastic gas-permeable membrane at the intersecting positions and enters into solution in the culture units. The oxygen concentrations in the microfluidic chip are formed by different diffusion amounts of the oxygen permeating the elastic gas-permeable membrane at a plurality of the intersecting points or different intersecting areas. The dissolved oxygen concentrations mainly depend on the number of the intersecting points and the areas of the intersecting positions. A pyramid-shaped gas mixing and distributing structure is omitted, thus saving the area of the chip and increasing the integration level of the culture units in the chip.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microfluidics, in particular to a microfluidic chip capable of cultivating microorganisms under specific or multiple dissolved oxygen concentration conditions. Background technique [0002] Dissolved oxygen is an important environmental factor for microorganisms cultured in liquid. Different microorganisms and their different growth stages have different oxygen requirements. On the one hand, dissolved oxygen will affect the growth of microorganisms by affecting the energy metabolism related to the respiratory chain, and on the other hand, it will also affect the metabolic activity of microorganisms by affecting enzyme activity or directly participating in substance metabolism. Therefore, it is necessary to study the influence of dissolved oxygen concentration on microorganisms and adopt appropriate dissolved oxygen control methods to promote the growth of microorganisms in solution and improve the production effic...
