Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of online separation of marine microorganisms, and more specifically, to a device and method for continuous separation of marine microorganisms under a high pressure environment. Background Art

[0002] Marine microorganisms are simple organisms that grow and reproduce in the marine environment, are tiny in size, single-celled or multi-celled with relatively simple individual structures, or even have no cell structure. The ocean where marine microorganisms live is the largest and oldest habitat on Earth, occupying 71% of the Earth's area and with an average depth of 3.8 km. Due to the uneven distribution of land and sea on Earth, the marine habitat is actually composed of many different macrohabitats, and different habitat conditions breed different microbial populations.

[0003] At present, microbial enrichment and separation experiments have been carried out under high-pressure and normal-pressure environments. Marine microorganisms are regulated by pressure factors. Enrichment and separation under normal-pressure environments can only obtain some pressure-resistant microorganisms, and cannot obtain the original unique indigenous microorganisms of the deep sea. However, after enriching and culturing microorganisms under high-pressure environments, they are generally separated by streaking, limiting dilution, etc. In addition, if the characteristics of microorganisms are to be detected, such as gene transcription of microorganisms, the environmental pressure needs to be changed, and the results obtained are greatly deviated from the actual environment. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned existing high-pressure enrichment and cultivation process of marine microorganisms, which requires pressure release to separate and detect the characteristics of microorganisms of different sizes, and the inaccurate detection results, the present invention provides a continuous separation device and method for marine microorganisms under a high-pressure environment. The device and method can continuously separate marine microorganisms of different sizes under a high-pressure environment and then perform characteristic detection.
