What is Culturomics?
Culturomics is a high-throughput, culture-based approach that enables the isolation and study of diverse microorganisms as living cells. By integrating optimized cultivation conditions with advanced identification technologies, culturomics extends beyond sequencing to recover viable microbes previously considered unculturable.

Going beyond gene catalogs, culturomics overcomes the limitations of traditional cultivation and metagenomics to systematically explore microbial diversity—especially low-abundance, rare, and novel species—providing a stronger foundation for understanding microbiome function, host health, and disease.
Current Challenges in Culturomics
Despite its potential, culturomics remains limited by labor-intensive workflows, low throughput, and poor standardization. Manual cultivation and colony isolation make large-scale, systematic exploration of microbial diversity slow and resource-intensive, restricting productivity and scalability.
