PROCÉDÉ DE CULTURE IN VITRO DE BACTÉRIES FILAMENTEUSES SEGMENTÉES

摘要

The present invention relates to an in vitro method of culturing a segmented filamentous bacterium strain, comprising co-culturing said segmented filamentous bacterium strain with a eukaryotic host cell, wherein the culture is performed at an O2 level inferior to 5% in a rich tissue culture liquid medium containing bacterial medium components including iron. The present invention also relates to methods for genetically modifying a segmented filamentous bacterium strain comprising a step a culturing the strain in vitro.
