The invention provides a method for high-
throughput rapid screening of food
fermentation strains. The method comprises the following steps: mixing a to-be-detected bacterial sample with a culture medium without a
yeast product, injecting an obtained mixed bacterial liquid and an
oil phase into a
liquid drop generation
chip, generating liquid drops, and collecting the liquid drops for culture; injecting the cultured liquid drops, the
oil phase and SYTOTM16 fluorescent dye liquid into a
liquid drop micro-injection
chip, collecting the generated liquid drops, injecting the liquid drops and the
oil phase into a micro-fluidic sorting
chip, carrying out
fluorescence detection, collecting target liquid drops, and carrying out demulsification treatment and
coating culture. The method can realize rapid and accurate high-
throughput screening of target strains, and especially can directly quantify the growth activity of microorganisms under the stress of acid and salt, thereby realizing efficient and accurate screening of acid-resistant and salt-resistant strains. Moreover, the method does not need to carry out
gene modification on the strain, avoids the problems of
biological safety and technical complexity possibly caused by
gene manipulation, retains the natural characteristics of the strain, is suitable for large-scale high-
throughput bacterium screening, and has high application value.
