基于扩散的微流体装置可以产生稳定的、任意形状的化学梯度,而不需要流体流动,并且是研究自由游动细胞(如细菌)的趋化性的理想选择。然而,如果微流控梯度发生器被用来系统地研究细菌的趋化性,它是至关重要的,以评估其性能与实际的定量趋化性测试。我们的特点和比较三个基于扩散的梯度发生器,共聚焦显微镜和数值模拟,选择一个最佳的设计,并将其应用于大肠杆菌的线性和非线性梯度的趋化实验。比较观察到的细胞分布沿着梯度与预测从一个既定的数学模型显示出非常好的协议,提供了第一个量化的趋化性的自由游动细胞在稳定的非线性微流体梯度和打开大门,细菌的趋化性研究在梯度的任意形状。
Diffusion-based microfluidic devices can generate steady, arbitrarily shaped chemical gradients without requiring fluid flow and are ideal for studying chemotaxis of free-swimming cells such as bacteria. However, if microfluidic gradient generators are to be used to systematically study bacterial chemotaxis, it is critical to evaluate their performance with actual quantitative chemotaxis tests. We characterize and compare three diffusion-based gradient generators by confocal microscopy and numerical simulations, select an optimal design and apply it to chemotaxis experiments with Escherichia coli in both linear and nonlinear gradients. Comparison of the observed cell distribution along the gradients with predictions from an established mathematical model shows very good agreement, providing the first quantification of chemotaxis of free-swimming cells in steady nonlinear microfluidic gradients and opening the door to bacterial chemotaxis studies in gradients of arbitrary shape.
