A versatile microfluidic platform measures hyphal interactions between Fusarium graminearum and Clonostachys rosea in real-time

Here, the authors developed a microfluidic platform that measures fungal-fungal interactions at the hyphal level in real-time. This device uses microchannel geometry to enhance the visibility of hyphal growth and provides control channels to allow comparisons between localized and systemic effects,...

Description
Summary:Here, the authors developed a microfluidic platform that measures fungal-fungal interactions at the hyphal level in real-time. This device uses microchannel geometry to enhance the visibility of hyphal growth and provides control channels to allow comparisons between localized and systemic effects, which facilitated the investigation of the relationship between the noxious fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum and the biological control agent Clonostachys rosea.
