| Research Abstract |
Oral biofilm flora contains over a thousand of bacterial strains and some of them are fastidious in growth. To cultivate these fastidious oral bacteria effectively, we have invented an in vivo cultivating system using hollow fiber membrane chamber. With our system, we could acquire oral bacteria in higher efficiency than that with the conventional cultivation method. However, our system did not excel in diversity and novelty of the bacterial strains acquired.
