Printing soil: a single‐step, high‐throughput method to isolate micro‐organisms and near‐neighbour microbial consortia from a complex environmental sample
Abstract
Traditional high throughput methods for isolating microorganisms from environmental samples such as soil or sediment require pre‐processing steps to remove the living species from their solid‐phase microniche, creating a liquid‐phase sample. This process destroys near‐neighbor relationships that could be crucial to culturing and studying the microorganisms to be isolated.
