Spatiotemporal models that account for heterogeneity within microbial communities rely on
single-cell data for calibration and validation. Such data, commonly collected via microscopy …

Species' geographic distributions shape global patterns of biodiversity and therefore have
long been of interest to ecology and conservation. Theory has generated valuable …

As an easily disposable substrate with a microporous texture, paper is a well-suited, generic
substrate to build analytical devices for studying bacteria. Using a multi-pass lasing process …

High-performance affinity chromatography is limited by its high cost and high pressure.
Paper is made up of porous fiber networks and has the properties of low cost, ease of …

Understanding interactions of bacteria with fiber-based packaging materials is fundamental
for appropriate food packaging. We propose a laboratory model to evaluate microbial growth …

Directed evolution has become an important method to unleash the latent potential of
enzymes to make them uniquely suited for human purposes. However, the need for a large …

Community interactions based on various parameters in defined niches have been studied
to understand their influence on bacterial life. Yet there currently are no models that can …
