Patterning Bacterial Communities on Epithelial Cells

Patterning Bacterial Communities on Epithelial Cells

Micropatterning of bacteria using aqueous two phase system (ATPS) enables the localized culture and formation of physically separated bacterial communities on human epithelial cell sheets. This method was used to compare the effects of Escherichia coli strain MG1655 and an isogenic invasive counterpart that expresses the invasin (inv) gene from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis on the underlying epit...

Workshop on the Physics of Bacterial Communities

A Review on Bacterial Communities and Communication

Bacteria, one of the smallest organisms to inhabit the Earth, have some of the largest ecological impacts on their communities. They interact with plants, animals, and other bacteria. Bacteria can be printed using 3D printing methods that recombine different traits of different bacteria. Connell and his research team printed Staphylococcus aureus with a Psuedomonas aeruginosa shell, increasing ...

Electricity-producing bacterial communities in microbial fuel cells.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are not yet commercialized but they show great promise as a method of water treatment and as power sources for environmental sensors. The power produced by these systems is currently limited, primarily by high internal (ohmic) resistance. However, improvements in the system architecture will soon result in power generation that is dependent on the capabilities of the...
