abstract = {In nature and in technical systems, microbial cells are
often exposed to rapidly fluctuating environmental
conditions. These conditions can vary in quality, e.g., the
existence of a starvation zone, and quantity, e.g., the
average residence time in this zone. For strain development
and process design, cellular response to such fluctuations
needs to be systematically analysed. However, the existing
methods for physically imitating rapidly changing
environmental conditions are limited in spatio-temporal
resolution. Hence, we present a novel microfluidic system
for cultivation of single cells and small cell clusters
under dynamic environmental conditions (dynamic microfluidic
single-cell cultivation (dMSCC)). This system enables the
control of nutrient availability and composition between two
media with second to minute resolution. We validate our
technology using the industrially relevant model organism
Corynebacterium glutamicum. The organism was exposed to
different oscillation frequencies between nutrient excess
(feasts) and scarcity (famine). The resulting changes in
cellular physiology, such as the colony growth rate and cell
morphology, were analysed and revealed significant
differences in the growth rate and cell length between the
different conditions. dMSCC also allows the application of
defined but randomly changing nutrient conditions, which is
important for reproducing more complex conditions from
natural habitats and large-scale bioreactors. The presented
system lays the foundation for the cultivation of cells
under complex changing environmental conditions.},
