ABSTRACT:
A system (10) and method of use for observation of microorganisms in a controlled environment is described. The system uses a diffusion gradient chamber (12) with reservoirs (24) which provide a compound or analyte (S) through a membrane (20) into a space in the chamber containing the microorganisms. The system preferably uses a camera (40) which records the observations of the microorganisms. The system enables study of microorganisms in gradients of compounds and the isolation of useful microorganisms.
