Microfluidic chip reveals that bacteria swim toward large complex polymers
Microfluidic chip reveals that bacteria swim toward large complex polymers- Using a novel microfluidic chip, ETH researchers led by Professor Roman Stocker and Estelle Clerc have shown that bacteria not only recognize small food molecules, but also swim towards large, complex polymers. A startup is now using these findings and applying the technology to find microbes in the environment that can break down pollutants.
