微生物分离株的高通量筛选对 秀丽隐杆线虫 健康的影响

Overview

This study explores how gut microbes affect the health of their host, utilizing the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to screen for bacterial isolates. The protocol details a high-throughput screening approach to assess the impact of 48 bacterial isolates on the oxidative thermal stress resistance in C.elegans, establishing a method for evaluating nematode health.
