Gnotobiota
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-004957
The entire collection of microorganisms living in or on a gnotobiotic organism, where all microbial species are known and characterized. This precisely defined microbial community is established under controlled conditions. It provides a standardized system for studying host-microbe interactions without confounding variables from unknown microbes.
