Live imaging of thermophilic bacteria under confinement

Description

Guillaume Baffou’s lab from Institut Fresnel used VAHEAT to image growing thermophilic bacteria at 60°C and 70°C under spatial confinement. They found out that what is good for E. coli does not necessarily satisfy other non-model organisms. Most aerobic bacteria need for successful growth more oxygen than is available in confined geometries.
