Microdroplet-based system for culturing of environmental microorganisms using FNAP-sort
Abstract Droplet microfluidics has emerged as a powerful technology for improving the culturing efficiency of environmental microorganisms. However, its widespread adoption has been limited due to considerable technical challenges, especially related to identification and manipulation of individual...
