Microfabrication of a micron-scale microbial-domestication pod for in situ cultivation of marine bacteria.

ABSTRACT: Through the hyphenation of microfabrication, microfluidics and microbiology, we report the development of a μMicrobial-Domestication Pod (μMD Pod). This in situ cultivation device facilitates cell signaling from neighbouring species and interactions with environmental stimuli for marine bacterial growth to overcome current barriers faced by standard laboratory cultivation methods.
