Extended Data Fig. 4: Growing cells recovered from devices collectively displayed a wide range of morphologies.
From: Profiling the human intestinal environment under physiological conditions
a) A 2-µL sample was acquired from a single device and spotted onto an agarose pad with BHI medium. After 4 h of time-lapse imaging, growing cells displayed a wide range of morphological features, as highlighted by white arrows: 1. regular rods; 2. small rods; 3. wide rods; 4. branching; and 5. long/filamentous rods. Along with the sample shown, 3 other samples from devices ingested at the same time were imaged, and similar results were observed. b) Occasional human cells (white arrow) were observed during imaging.
