ABSTRACT:
The activity of a microbiologically active material is measured by suspending the material in a liquid medium capable of forming a gel. The resultant suspension is formed into small liquid droplets which droplets are caused to gel. The gel microdroplets (GMDs) are treated to effect desirable alteration of the microbiologically active material and the amount of metabolites or reaction products of the desired alteration within each get droplet is measured. Alternatively, incubation is carried out such that each GMD initially containing one cell contains many, a microcolony, which can be tested for desirable properties while retaining sufficient viable cells for with growth and harvesting for further testing and/or production.
