摘要

The utilization of liquid enrichment cultures for selecting microbial communities has been employed to recover and increase the abundance of desired microbes capable of thriving on specific carbon sources. This strategy facilitates the development of microbial consortia designed to serve as models for studying the eco-enzymology of particular metabolic processes. In this context, we introduce a top–down method referred to as “dilution-to-stimulation” to artificially select polymer-transforming microbial consortia from soil samples.
