WHAT DOES GNOTOBIOTIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gnotobiotic animal

A gnotobiotic animal is an animal in which only certain known strains of bacteria and other microorganisms are present. Technically, the term also includes germ-free animals, as the status of their microbial communities is also known. However, the term gnotobiotic is often incorrectly contrasted with germ-free. Gnotobiotic animals are born in aseptic conditions, which may include removal from the mother by Caesarean section and immediate transfer of the newborn to an isolator where all incoming air, food and water is sterilized. Such animals are normally reared in a sterile or microbially-controlled laboratory environment, and they are only exposed to those microorganisms that the researchers wish to have present in the animal. These gnotobionts are used to study the symbiotic relationships between an animal and one or more of the microorganisms that may inhabit its body. This technique is important for microbiologists because it allows them to study only a select few symbiotic interactions at a time, whereas animals that develop under normal conditions may quickly acquire a microbiota that includes hundreds or thousands of unique organisms.

Definition of gnotobiotic in the English dictionary
