Bacterial bands

Experimental set-up of flat capillaries with reservoir and outflows on a glass slide.
In order to investigate the response of bacteria within oxygen gradients under reproducible conditions, different capillaries have been designed to adjust and reproduce oxic-anoxic boundaries. This set-up allows us to observe the microbial activity directly within the oxic-anoxic interface.
