Droplet-based microfluidic platform for high-throughput screening of Streptomyces

Streptomyces are an important filamentous bacterium genus in industry, but most of the high-throughput techniques so far can only separate spores or protoplasts. Tu et al. develop an encapsulating method that allows screening of Streptomyces in the filamentous, stationary phase.
