How a Microfluidic Ecology Reveals the Spatial Evolution of Phage Resistance

This week’s research highlight focuses on how microfluidics can help us understand the evolution of phage resistance in spatially structured bacterial environments. The article “Gradient metapopulation microfluidic ecologies shape genetic and biofilm drivers of T4r phage resistance in E. coli,” published in npj Biofilms...
