Automated Chemotactic Sorting and Single-cell Cultivation of Microbes using Droplet Microfluidics
We report a microfluidic device for automated sorting and cultivation of chemotactic microbes from pure cultures or mixtures. The device consists of two parts: in the first part, a concentration gradient of the chemoeffector was built across the channel for inducing chemotaxis of motile cells; in th...
