Isolation and cultivation of bacterial cells from a microbial mixture consisting of S. aureus and GFP-expressing E. coli with the DP platform. (A) Typical bright-field, fluorescence, and merged microimages of microcolonies grown in a PicoArray device after 8 h of incubation at 37 °C. Initial concentrations of S. aureus and E. coli ~ 6 × 104 CFU/mL. (B) Enumeration of S. aureus and GFP-expressing E. coli in the microbial mixture using the DP platform vs. the agar plating.
