Microfluidic high-throughput culturing of single cells for selection based on extracellular metabolite production or consumption

Phenotyping single cells based on the products they secrete or consume is a key bottleneck in many biotechnology applications, such as combinatorial metabolic engineering for the overproduction of secreted metabolites. Here we present a flexible high-throughput approach that uses microfluidics to co...
