Description

Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of microbial culture technology, and in particular to an environmental control system for controlling contaminating bacteria during the culture of enriched microorganisms. Background Technology

[0003] In the field of microbial research, especially in the study of microbial biomarkers related to disease diagnosis, enriched microbial culture is a crucial step in obtaining sufficient quantities of target microbial communities for physicochemical testing. However, current technologies face the following technical bottlenecks in the process of microbial enrichment culture: 1. Limited and low-automation methods for controlling contaminating microorganisms: Traditional culture environments rely on manual monitoring and periodic sterilization (such as ultraviolet irradiation or chemical disinfection), which cannot respond in real time to contamination events. For example, when the level of contaminating microorganisms in the culture environment suddenly rises, manual intervention is often delayed, resulting in contamination of the target microorganisms or inhibition of their growth, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of GLP standards for a sterile environment.

[0004] 2. Lack of dynamic adaptability in environmental parameter adjustment: Existing culture systems typically only provide fixed basic environmental parameters such as temperature and pH, and cannot dynamically construct diverse culture conditions based on the aerobic characteristics of microorganisms (such as anaerobic, aerobic, and microaerobic). For example, for bacterial communities with significantly different aerobic requirements, traditional methods require batch cultivation in different devices, which is cumbersome and prone to cross-contamination, making it difficult to efficiently distinguish the optimal growth conditions for different bacterial communities.

[0005] 3. Insufficient multi-parameter monitoring and data linkage: Existing systems monitor the microbial growth environment only for basic physical parameters such as temperature and humidity, lacking direct detection methods for microbial metabolic activity (such as ATP content) or real-time concentration (such as turbidity). Furthermore, the lack of intelligent linkage between monitoring data and the control module prevents automatic adjustment of the culture strategy based on real-time data, resulting in low efficiency and stability of enrichment cultures.

[0006] Therefore, a system is urgently needed to solve at least one of the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This application provides an environmental control system for controlling contaminating bacteria during the cultivation of enriched microorganisms. It aims to solve the problem that existing technologies do not have a cultivation environmental control system that simultaneously integrates multimodal real-time monitoring, automated pollution intervention, dynamic programming of aerobic conditions, and intelligent data linkage. In particular, it lacks a technical solution for constructing a multi-dimensional cultivation matrix based on the "aerobic characteristics of microorganisms" and achieving the steady-state maintenance of enriched microbial communities.

[0009] In a first aspect, this application provides an environmental control system for controlling contaminating bacteria during the cultivation of enriched microorganisms, comprising: The environmental element acquisition and sensing module is equipped with a thermocouple temperature sensor, an electrode-type pH sensor, a polar spectrum dissolved oxygen sensor, a humidity sensor, and a CO2 sensor.

[0013] In some embodiments, the modular programming of the environment includes: through the operation interface of the control module, the operator can program and set the temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen concentration, oxygen content, humidity and CO2 concentration in the culture environment according to different microbial culture needs, and preset different culture modes; store the different culture modes as program templates, which can be called at any time as needed; during the culture process, the environmental parameters are automatically adjusted according to the preset program templates to realize the programmed control of the culture environment.

[0014] In some embodiments, constructing anaerobic, aerobic, and microaerobic condition combinations based on the aerobic nature of microorganisms, and coordinating high-frequency colony count monitoring after microbial inoculation, includes: selecting or customizing anaerobic, aerobic, or microaerobic culture modes through the control module according to the aerobic characteristics of the microorganisms; controlling the oxygen concentration in the culture environment to the target range by adjusting the nitrogen filling system and air filtration system; after microbial inoculation, initiating a high-frequency colony count monitoring program; using image recognition technology or fluorescence detection technology to detect the number and morphology of colonies in the culture dish at preset time intervals; transmitting the detection results to the control module in real time; and automatically fine-tuning the culture environment parameters according to the colony count change trend.

[0015] In some embodiments, providing a microbial culture matrix to distinguish the optimal culture conditions for different bacterial communities includes: simultaneously running multiple different culture programs, each program corresponding to a different combination of environmental parameters, forming a multidimensional culture matrix including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration, and oxygen content; inoculating different bacterial communities into culture environments with corresponding parameter combinations to conduct parallel culture experiments; recording the growth data of bacterial communities in each culture environment in real time, including colony count, growth rate, and metabolites; and determining the optimal culture conditions for each bacterial community by statistically analyzing and comparing the growth of bacterial communities under different parameter combinations, forming a microbial community-culture condition database.

[0016] In some embodiments, the construction of a stable state of enriched microorganisms includes: automatically adjusting the culture environment parameters according to the determined optimal culture conditions for each microbial community, so that the target microorganisms are always in the optimal growth environment during the enrichment culture process; maintaining the stability of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration, and oxygen content in the culture environment through continuous real-time monitoring and feedback adjustment, inhibiting the growth of contaminating bacteria, and ensuring the dominant growth position of the target microorganisms; establishing a dynamic equilibrium model, and adjusting the control strategy in real time according to the changes in environmental parameters during the growth and metabolism of microorganisms, forming a stable enriched microbial culture system, and providing microbial samples with stable composition and quantity.

[0017] Secondly, this application provides a light sensitivity-assisted system method, applied to an environmental control system for controlling contaminating bacteria during the enrichment of microorganisms provided in any embodiment of this application, the method comprising: Modular programming of the environment; We constructed anaerobic, aerobic, and microaerobic condition combinations based on the aerobic nature of microorganisms, and then conducted high-frequency colony count monitoring after inoculation.

Combined with multi-dimensional contamination control measures such as ultraviolet / ozone sterilization, air isolation, and nitrogen purging, it achieves closed-loop automation from "contamination detection" to "intervention execution," significantly reducing the cost of manual intervention and improving the reliability of the sterile environment. A multi-condition combination of anaerobic / aerobic / microaerobic is constructed based on the aerobic characteristics of microorganisms, supporting the parallel operation of multiple culture environments. This forms a multi-dimensional culture matrix including parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and oxygen content, efficiently screening the optimal growth conditions for different bacterial groups and shortening the enrichment culture cycle. Data is uploaded to the backend in real time via an IoT module, and environmental parameters are automatically adjusted using a PID algorithm to dynamically maintain the "type homeostasis" of enriched microorganisms. High-frequency colony count monitoring and the coordinated adjustment of environmental parameters ensure that target microorganisms grow preferentially under optimal conditions, providing stable and controllable microbial samples for subsequent pathological research.

[0030] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0031] In the field of microbial research, especially in the study of microbial biomarkers related to disease diagnosis, enriched microbial culture is a crucial step in obtaining sufficient quantities of target microbial communities for physicochemical testing. However, current technologies face the following technical bottlenecks in the process of microbial enrichment culture: 1. Limited and low-automation methods for controlling contaminating microorganisms: Traditional culture environments rely on manual monitoring and periodic sterilization (such as ultraviolet irradiation or chemical disinfection), which cannot respond in real time to contamination events. For example, when the level of contaminating microorganisms in the culture environment suddenly rises, manual intervention is often delayed, resulting in contamination of the target microorganisms or inhibition of their growth, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of GLP standards for a sterile environment.

[0032] 2.

For example, for bacterial communities with significantly different aerobic requirements, traditional methods require batch cultivation in different devices, which is cumbersome and prone to cross-contamination, making it difficult to efficiently distinguish the optimal growth conditions for different bacterial communities.

[0033] 3. Insufficient multi-parameter monitoring and data linkage: Existing systems monitor the microbial growth environment only for basic physical parameters such as temperature and humidity, lacking direct detection methods for microbial metabolic activity (such as ATP content) or real-time concentration (such as turbidity). Furthermore, the lack of intelligent linkage between monitoring data and the control module prevents automatic adjustment of the culture strategy based on real-time data, resulting in low efficiency and stability of enrichment cultures.

[0034] There is no existing technology that integrates multimodal real-time monitoring, automated pollution intervention, dynamic programming of aerobic conditions, and intelligent data linkage in the culture environment control system. In particular, there is a lack of technical solutions for constructing a multi-dimensional culture matrix based on the "aerobic characteristics of microorganisms" and achieving the maintenance of the stable state of enriched microbial communities.

[0035] To solve the above problem, please refer to Figure 1 This application provides an environmental control system for controlling contaminating bacteria during the cultivation of enriched microorganisms, comprising: an environmental element acquisition and sensing module, which is equipped with a thermocouple temperature sensor, an electrode-type pH sensor, a polar spectrum dissolved oxygen sensor, a humidity sensor, and a CO2 sensor, and also integrates an ATP bioluminescence detector or an online turbidimeter for real-time detection of the growth environment of target microorganisms and contaminating bacteria; a sterilization and contamination control module, including an ultraviolet lamp or ozone generator, an air isolation device, a filtration system, and a nitrogen filling system, for creating a sterile or low-contamination environment; a data acquisition unit integrating an IoT module for uploading real-time data to the background, automatically reducing the cultivation level or initiating ultraviolet sterilization when the contaminating bacteria level exceeds the standard; and a control module for modular programming of the environment, constructing anaerobic, aerobic, and microaerobic condition combinations based on the aerobic nature of microorganisms, providing a microbial culture matrix in conjunction with high-frequency colony count monitoring after inoculation, distinguishing the optimal culture conditions for different bacterial groups, and constructing a type steady state of enriched microorganisms.

[0036] Specifically, the environmental control system for controlling contaminating bacteria during the enriched microbial culture process provided by this invention achieves closed-loop management of "real-time monitoring - intelligent control - pollution intervention - steady-state maintenance" through multi-module collaboration.

[0037] The environmental element acquisition and sensing module is used to construct a multi-dimensional microenvironment monitoring network to achieve precise perception of the growth status of target microorganisms and contaminating bacteria.

[0038] Thermocouple temperature sensors monitor the culture environment temperature in real time with an accuracy of ±0.1℃, providing a temperature reference for microbial growth.

[0039] The electrode-type pH sensor dynamically detects the acidity and alkalinity of the culture system, with a response time of ≤5 seconds, and supports full-range monitoring of pH from 0 to 14.

[0040] Polar spectrum dissolved oxygen (DO) sensor: measures dissolved oxygen concentration (0-20 mg / L) with a resolution of 0.01 mg / L, adapting to the differentiated needs of aerobic / anaerobic bacterial communities.

[0041] Humidity and CO2 sensors: These monitor ambient relative humidity (accuracy ±2%RH) and CO2 concentrations of 0-5000ppm (accuracy ±3%), respectively, to maintain gaseous stability in the culture space. The ATP bioluminescence detector quantifies the ATP content of microorganisms through a luciferin-luciferase reaction, completing the detection of contaminating microbial activity within 10 minutes, with a detection limit as low as 10. 3 CFU / mL. The online turbidimeter uses the 90° scattering light principle to monitor the turbidity of the culture system in real time (0-1000 NTU), reflecting changes in microbial concentration. The sampling interval can be set to 5-30 minutes.

[0042] The sterilization and contamination control module is used to build a multi-level contamination protection system to achieve three-dimensional prevention and control through "prevention-blocking-disinfection".

[0043] The ultraviolet (UV) lamp is equipped with a 254nm wavelength ultraviolet light source and an irradiation intensity ≥90μW / cm². 2 The irradiation time can be automatically adjusted according to the pollution level (10-60 minutes).

[0044] The ozone generator produces an ozone concentration of 0.1-1 mg / m³. 3 The ozone gas, combined with the circulating air path, achieves fumigation and sterilization of the cultivation space. After sterilization, ventilation is automatically activated to remove residue.

[0045] The physical isolation unit includes: an air isolation device: employing air curtain isolation or positive pressure sealing technology to create an air pressure difference of ≥5Pa between the cultivation space and the outside environment, blocking the invasion path of external microorganisms. A filtration system: integrating a HEPA filter (filtration efficiency ≥99.97%@0.3μm) and an activated carbon adsorption layer to filter particulate pollutants and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the incoming air.

[0046] The metabolic inhibition unit includes: a nitrogen injection system: which precisely controls the amount of nitrogen injected through a mass flow controller (MFC) to adjust the oxygen concentration in the culture environment to the range of 0-20%, thereby specifically inhibiting the growth of aerobic bacteria.

[0047] The data acquisition and intelligent control module is used to build a data closed loop of "edge computing - cloud management" to realize dynamic programming and intelligent linkage of environmental parameters.

[0048] Data acquisition and transmission include: IoT module: integrating a 5G / Ethernet communication module to encrypt and upload sensor data (frequency 1 time / minute) to the cloud server, supporting remote real-time monitoring and historical data tracing. Threshold trigger mechanism: preset ATP threshold for contaminating bacteria in the background (e.g., >10). 4 When the RLU or turbidity threshold (e.g., >50 NTU) is exceeded, an alarm work order is automatically generated and pushed to the operator's mobile device. The control logic execution includes: a modular programming interface: via the control module's touchscreen or cloud platform, operators can customize culture programs such as "anaerobic mode" (O2 0.5%), "aerobic mode" (O2 = 20%), and "microaerobic mode" (O2 = 5-8%). Each program can be associated with dynamic curves (e.g., stepped temperature changes, pulsed oxygenation) for parameters such as temperature (15-45℃), pH (4.0-9.0), and DO (0-20mg / L). The control module uses a proportional-integral-derivative algorithm to fine-tune parameters such as temperature and pH in real time (adjustment cycle ≤ 1 minute), ensuring that parameter fluctuations are ≤ ±5% of the set value. Enrichment of target bacterial communities is achieved through a combination of "differentiated culture based on aerobic characteristics - high-frequency monitoring - matrix-based condition screening." Multiple independent culture chambers (e.g., 4-8) are divided within the same culture equipment. Each chamber can independently control parameters such as oxygen concentration and temperature, allowing for parallel anaerobic / aerobic / microaerobic culture experiments. For example, chamber A is set as an anaerobic environment (N2 filled to O2 < 0.5%) for culturing lactobacilli, while chamber B maintains an aerobic environment (O2 = 20%) for culturing aerobic control bacteria.

[0049] High-frequency colony count monitoring employs machine vision technology (such as a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera) combined with image analysis algorithms to photograph and count colonies in culture dishes every hour, identifying colony morphology (such as round or wrinkled) and classifying them statistically. Combined with fluorescent labeling technology (such as SYTO 9 nucleic acid staining), it distinguishes between live and dead cells and calculates the percentage of live cells in the target bacterial population.

[0050] Cultivation matrix and steady-state construction through orthogonal experimental design (L9(3) 4 A four-dimensional culture matrix was constructed, including temperature (30℃, 37℃, 42℃), pH (5.5, 7.0, 8.5), O2 0.5%, 5%, 20%, and nutrient composition (serum concentration 1%, 5%, 10%). Three parallel samples were run for each condition combination. The control module automatically selected the optimal condition combination based on the microbial community growth curve (OD value, colony count), forming a "microbial community-environmental parameter" mapping table. During subsequent culture, real-time feedback was used to maintain environmental parameter fluctuations ≤ ±2%, constructing a "type steady state" for the enriched microbial community (e.g., Lactobacillus ≥ 90%). Concentration ( Taking HRCD-related vaginal microbial enrichment culture as an example, the system operation procedure is explained as follows: 1. Initial parameter settings: The operator selects "Vaginal Microbial Enrichment Program" through the control module interface. Preset parameters: Aerobic mode: O2=20%, temperature 37℃, pH=6.0, CO2=5%, used for culturing aerobic bacteria (such as Halomonas); Microaerobic mode: O2=8%, temperature 35℃, pH=5.5, CO2=3%, used for enriching target bacterial groups such as Lactobacillus. The air filtration system is activated to ensure that the particulate matter concentration in the culture chamber is <3520 particles / m³. 3 (ISO Class 8 cleanliness) and the oxygen concentration in each compartment is adjusted to the target value by nitrogen filling.

[0051] Microbial inoculation and real-time monitoring involved inoculating vaginal swab samples from HRCD patients into culture dishes containing selective media, which were then placed in culture chambers with different aerobic conditions. The system collected data on temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen (DO) every 10 minutes, and detected bacterial activity hourly using an ATP bioluminescence detector (e.g., the ATP threshold for Halomonas was set to >500 RLU). Microbial concentration was monitored using an online turbidimeter (the turbidity growth slope for target lactobacilli was preset to 0.05 NTU / h).

[0052] Contamination intervention and parameter adjustment are implemented as follows: If the ATP value of contaminating bacteria in a culture chamber exceeds 800 RLU (exceeding the threshold), the system automatically performs the following actions: ① Irradiates the chamber with ultraviolet light for 20 minutes; ② Nitrogen is introduced until the O2 concentration drops to 3%, inhibiting the growth of aerobic bacteria; ③ A contamination alarm (including chamber number, contamination level, and intervention record) is sent to the operator via the IoT module. If the turbidity in the lactobacillus culture chamber increases slowly (<0.03 NTU / h), the control module automatically fine-tunes the parameters: raising the temperature from 35℃ to 37℃, adjusting the pH from 5.5 to 6.0, and simultaneously increasing the glucose concentration in the culture medium to 2% to promote the growth of the target bacterial population.

[0053] After 48 hours of cultivation, the enriched state was maintained at a steady state. The system confirmed that the target bacterial population comprised ≥85% through colony morphology identification (Lactobacillus appears grayish-white, round, and with neat edges) and rapid 16S rRNA detection (using an integrated isothermal amplification chip within the chamber). Based on real-time monitoring data, the control module fine-tuned the N2 injection volume (accuracy ±0.1% O2) and stirring rate (50-150 rpm) every 30 minutes to maintain fluctuations in the culture environment parameters ≤±1.5%, until the bacterial concentration reached the threshold required for physicochemical testing (e.g., 10⁻⁶). 7 (CFU / mL).

[0054] The cloud server automatically generates data reports on the culture process, including: environmental parameter curves (temperature, pH, and O2 concentration changes over time); microbial community growth kinetic parameters (doubling time, maximum specific growth rate); and contamination event logs (occurrence time, intervention measures, and recovery time). Operators can export the data through the platform for subsequent microbial metabolomics analysis or pathological correlation studies.

[0055] A comprehensive monitoring system integrating physicochemical parameters, microbial activity, and concentration changes enables "second-level detection and minute-level response" to pollution incidents. Through independent oxygen-controlled chambers and modular program templates, it supports the parallel cultivation of multiple types of microorganisms, significantly improving efficiency compared to traditional methods. Based on real-time data-driven PID algorithms and microbial community growth models, it breaks through the simple closed loop of traditional cultivation—"setpoint-feedback adjustment"—achieving dual stability in both the composition and quantity of enriched microbial communities.

[0056] In some embodiments, the real-time detection of the growth environment of target microorganisms and other microorganisms includes: periodically collecting temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen concentration, humidity, and CO2 concentration in the culture environment using the thermocouple temperature sensor, electrode-type pH sensor, polar spectrum dissolved oxygen sensor, humidity sensor, and CO2 sensor; detecting the ATP content of target microorganisms and other microorganisms using the ATP bioluminescence detector, or detecting the turbidity of the culture environment using the online turbidimeter, to obtain growth and metabolic information and concentration change information of target microorganisms and other microorganisms, and transmitting the detection data to the control module in real time.

[0057] By using multiple types of sensors to collect physicochemical parameters and biological indicators of the culture environment in real time, data on the growth status of the target microorganism and other microorganisms can be obtained.

[0058] Physicochemical parameter acquisition: Thermocouple temperature sensors monitor the culture environment temperature once per minute (accuracy ±0.1℃); electrode-type pH sensors update the pH value every 5 seconds (range 0-14); polarimetric dissolved oxygen sensors output dissolved oxygen concentration in real time (resolution 0.01mg / L); humidity sensors and CO2 sensors monitor ambient humidity (20%-90%RH) and CO2 (0-5000ppm) with accuracies of ±2%RH and ±3%, respectively. Biomarker detection: The ATP bioluminescence detector measures the culture samples hourly, quantifying the microbial ATP content via luciferase reaction (detection limit 10). 3 The online turbidimeter measures the turbidity of the culture system (0-1000 NTU) at 5-minute intervals, generating results within 10 minutes. All data is transmitted in real-time to the control module via an RS485 bus, forming a multi-dimensional data stream with timestamps for real-time analysis and decision-making.

[0059] Creating a sterile or low-contamination environment in some embodiments includes: when the control module determines, based on detection data, that the level of contaminants in the culture environment exceeds a preset threshold, automatically triggering the ultraviolet lamp or ozone generator to start a sterilization program, with the sterilization time and intensity adaptively adjusted according to the degree of contamination; physically isolating the culture space through the air isolation device to prevent outside air from entering; using the filtration system to efficiently filter the air entering the culture space to remove microbial particles from the air; and adjusting the oxygen content in the culture environment through the nitrogen filling system to inhibit the growth of aerobic bacteria.

[0060] Based on the detection data, multi-level sterilization and isolation measures are automatically triggered to create a sterile or low-contamination culture environment.

[0061] When the control module determines that the level of contaminants exceeds the standard based on ATP or turbidity data (e.g., ATP > 10), 4 If RLU or turbidity > 50 NTU, the ultraviolet lamp will automatically activate (irradiation intensity 90 μW / cm²). 2 20 minutes, or ozone generator (concentration 0.5 mg / m³) 3 Fumigate for 30 minutes; after sterilization, the exhaust system will automatically activate to disperse residual gases. Irradiation. The air isolation device blocks the intrusion of outside air through air curtains (wind speed ≥25m / s) or positive pressure seals (pressure difference ≥5Pa). At the same time, the filtration system performs three-stage treatment on the incoming air: pre-filter (retaining particles ≥5μm), HEPA filter (≥99.97%@0.3μm), and activated carbon adsorption (removing VOCs), ensuring that the air cleanliness entering the cultivation space reaches ISO 7 level.

[0062] The nitrogen filling system uses a mass flow controller (MFC) to adjust the oxygen concentration in the culture environment to a target value (e.g., 3%), which inhibits the respiratory metabolism of aerobic bacteria (e.g., Halomonas) while maintaining the growth advantage of target anaerobic bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus).

[0063] In some embodiments, uploading real-time data to the backend and automatically reducing the culture rate or initiating ultraviolet sterilization when the level of contaminants exceeds the limit includes: the IoT module encrypting the real-time collected environmental parameters and contaminant detection data and uploading them to the backend server in real time; the backend server presets a safety threshold for the level of contaminants, and when the detected level of contaminants exceeds the safety threshold, the backend server sends a command to the control module, and the control module automatically reduces the temperature of the culture environment to reduce the culture rate, or triggers the ultraviolet lamp to start the sterilization operation, while recording the time of the event and the operation process, and generating alarm information to notify the operator.

[0064] By leveraging IoT modules to achieve data synchronization in the cloud and automated intervention, pollution response efficiency can be improved.

[0065] The IoT module transmits real-time environmental parameters (temperature, pH, O2 ATP value, turbidity, etc.) and bacterial detection data (concentration, etc.) to the backend server via a 5G network with an encrypted transmission frequency of once per minute, supporting historical data review and trend analysis. The background system presets a safety threshold for miscellaneous bacteria (e.g., ATP=8000 RLU or turbidity=30 NTU). When the threshold is exceeded, it automatically sends instructions to the control module: ① If it is an aerobic culture environment, the control module will lower the temperature from 37℃ to 25℃ to reduce the metabolic rate of miscellaneous bacteria; ② If it is a closed culture chamber, it will trigger the ultraviolet lamp to start a 15-minute sterilization program.

[0066] The system automatically generates pollution event logs (including time, compartment number, and intervention measures) and pushes alarm information to operators via SMS / APP, along with real-time data curves and handling suggestions.

[0067] In some embodiments, the modular programming of the environment includes: through the operation interface of the control module, the operator can program and set the temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen concentration, oxygen content, humidity and CO2 concentration in the culture environment according to different microbial culture needs, and preset different culture modes; store the different culture modes as program templates, which can be called at any time as needed; during the culture process, the environmental parameters are automatically adjusted according to the preset program templates to realize the programmed control of the culture environment.

[0068] The control module interface enables the programmed setting and template-based management of culture environment parameters.

[0069] Parameter programming: Operators input culture parameters on the control module touch screen or cloud platform, such as "anaerobic mode" setting: temperature 35℃, pH 5.5, O2 ≤ 0.5%, CO2 = 2%, "microaerobic mode" setting: temperature 37℃, pH 7.2, O2 = 5%, CO2 = 5%, and support for custom parameter curves (such as increasing the temperature by 1℃ every 2 hours).

[0070] Commonly used culture programs (such as "vaginal flora enrichment" and "intestinal anaerobic bacteria culture") are stored as templates, which can be called up with one click and applied in batches to multiple culture chambers. For example, when calling the "HPV-related flora culture" template, the system automatically configures aerobic, microaerobic, and anaerobic conditions and corresponding nutrients for the four chambers respectively.

[0071] The control module fine-tunes parameters every 10 minutes based on a PID algorithm. For example, it automatically adjusts the heating / cooling elements when the temperature fluctuates by more than ±0.5℃, and triggers the replenishment pump to add acid-base buffer when the pH deviates from the set value by ±0.2.

[0072] In some embodiments, constructing anaerobic, aerobic, and microaerobic condition combinations based on the aerobic nature of microorganisms, and coordinating high-frequency colony count monitoring after microbial inoculation, includes: selecting or customizing anaerobic, aerobic, or microaerobic culture modes through the control module according to the aerobic characteristics of the microorganisms; controlling the oxygen concentration in the culture environment to the target range by adjusting the nitrogen filling system and air filtration system; after microbial inoculation, initiating a high-frequency colony count monitoring program; using image recognition technology or fluorescence detection technology to detect the number and morphology of colonies in the culture dish at preset time intervals; transmitting the detection results to the control module in real time; and automatically fine-tuning the culture environment parameters according to the colony count change trend.

[0073] We constructed diverse culture conditions based on the aerobic characteristics of microorganisms and optimized the culture strategy through high-frequency colony monitoring.

[0074] The culture mode is selected according to the type of microorganism. For example, for lactobacillus (anaerobic bacteria), nitrogen is turned on to fill the air to O2 < 0.5%; for streptococcus (aerobic bacteria), the air environment is maintained at O2 = 20%; and for Helicobacter pylori (microaerobic bacteria), O2 is adjusted to 8% and CO2 to 10%.

[0075] After inoculation, the machine vision monitoring system is activated. The CCD camera takes pictures of the culture dish every hour. The number of colonies is counted and the morphology (such as edge smoothness and color) is analyzed by image recognition algorithm (such as YOLOv5). The percentage of live bacteria is calculated by combining fluorescent staining (such as PI staining to distinguish dead bacteria).

[0076] If the target bacterial population is found to be growing slowly (e.g., colony count increases by <50% in 24 hours), the control module will automatically reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration by 2 mg / L or increase the temperature by 1°C, and record the difference in the growth curve before and after the adjustment.

[0077] In some embodiments, providing a microbial culture matrix to distinguish the optimal culture conditions for different bacterial communities includes: simultaneously running multiple different culture programs, each program corresponding to a different combination of environmental parameters, forming a multidimensional culture matrix including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration, and oxygen content; inoculating different bacterial communities into culture environments with corresponding parameter combinations to conduct parallel culture experiments; recording the growth data of bacterial communities in each culture environment in real time, including colony count, growth rate, and metabolites; and determining the optimal culture conditions for each bacterial community by statistically analyzing and comparing the growth of bacterial communities under different parameter combinations, forming a microbial community-culture condition database.

[0078] By using a multidimensional culture matrix to screen the optimal growth conditions for different bacterial communities in parallel, a database of bacterial community-environment parameters was established.

[0079] Eight independent culture chambers were set up with 3×3×2 factor combinations (temperature: 30℃, 37℃, 42℃; pH: 5.5, 7.0, 8.5; O2 concentration: 0.5%, 5%, 20%; nutrients: serum-containing / serum-free), and two parallel samples were set up for each condition combination.

[0080] Vaginal flora samples (including lactobacilli, halomonas, etc.) from HRCD patients were inoculated into corresponding chambers according to their different aerobic characteristics. For example, halomonas were inoculated into chambers with O2=20%, 37℃, and pH7.0, while lactobacilli were inoculated into chambers with O2=0.5%, 35℃, and pH5.5.

[0081] For 72 consecutive hours, the number of colonies, OD value, and metabolites (such as lactic acid content) in each compartment were recorded. The key factors affecting growth (such as the optimal conditions for the growth of lactobacillus being 35°C, pH 5.5, and anaerobic conditions) were determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA), and a microbial community-condition mapping table containing more than 100 sets of data was generated.

[0082] In some embodiments, the construction of a stable state of enriched microorganisms includes: automatically adjusting the culture environment parameters according to the determined optimal culture conditions for each microbial community, so that the target microorganisms are always in the optimal growth environment during the enrichment culture process; maintaining the stability of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration, and oxygen content in the culture environment through continuous real-time monitoring and feedback adjustment, inhibiting the growth of contaminating bacteria, and ensuring the dominant growth position of the target microorganisms; establishing a dynamic equilibrium model, and adjusting the control strategy in real time according to the changes in environmental parameters during the growth and metabolism of microorganisms, forming a stable enriched microbial culture system, and providing microbial samples with stable composition and quantity.

[0083] A dynamic steady-state system was constructed based on optimal culture conditions to maintain the stability of the composition and quantity of enriched microorganisms.

[0084] Based on the determined optimal conditions (e.g., lactobacillus: 35℃, pH 5.5, O2 < 0.5%), the control module calibrates the environmental parameters every 30 minutes, adjusts the nitrogen flow rate (accuracy ±0.1% O2) through a precision gas valve, and adds pH buffer solution (accuracy ±0.05pH) through a peristaltic pump to ensure that parameter fluctuations are ≤ ±1.5% of the set value.

[0085] Real-time monitoring of ATP values ​​of miscellaneous bacteria. When the ATP of aerobic miscellaneous bacteria such as Halomonas exceeds 3000 RLU, short-term (2-hour) extreme anaerobic conditions (O2 < 0.1%) combined with nutrient restriction (glucose concentration reduced to 0.5%) are initiated to specifically inhibit the growth of aerobic bacteria while maintaining the dominance of the target anaerobic bacteria.

[0086] Machine learning algorithms (such as LSTM) are used to predict changes in the environmental parameters required for bacterial community growth, and culture conditions are adjusted in advance (such as automatically increasing nitrogen supply at the beginning of the logarithmic growth phase) to ensure that the proportion of target bacteria in the enriched bacterial community remains ≥90% and the concentration remains stable at 10. 7 -10 8 CFU / mL range.
