Project Goals

1. Debug a microfluidic chemostat (Sortostat) to improve the time-varying specific selection of cell populations.
   • Current problems include:

    i)Cell Death after 3-4 days (presumably due to oxygen depletion.)
    ii)Inaccurate cell counts due to poor image processing.

1. Evaluate the response of populations of E.Coli cells containing engineered genetic circuits (http://parts.mit.edu) to particular selective pressures using the Sortostat.
