(A) Illustration of soil aggregate. The fraction of active microorganisms in aggregate is two to twenty times higher than in the bulk soil. Various sizes of aggregates form various sizes of pores. (B) We create a simulation model and microfluidic device reproducing the various sizes of pores formed by aggregates. We investigated the dependence of bacterial growth on the distribution of the size of pores with them.
