Fig. 3: Culturing of different bacterial species in liquid and agarose droplets.

a Both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria grow robustly in liquid droplets (red circles), and in a similar fashion to a 8 ml liquid batch culture (blue squares) (each culture was grown at least three times, error bars are standard error of the mean). b Agarose droplets generated by adding low melting agarose to growth medium. Agarose provides structural support and results in bacteria growing in compact microcolonies for both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. White arrows indicate developed microcolonies. Source data are available in the Source Data file.
