INTRODUCTION
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Bacteria with the built-in speedometer
A ubiquitous pathogen.
6Q Q= flow rate
Shear rate =
wh2 W= channels width
h= channels height
APPLICATION
i. RNA –sequencing library preparation and data analysis.
ii. Fabrication of microfluidic devices.
iii. Shear rate and shear force calculation.
6Q
Shear rate =
wh2
Q= flow rate
w= channels width
h= channels height
iv. Phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy.
v. Quantification of fro expression.
vi. Quantification of ficoll viscoity.
CONCLUSION
• The recent studies found that some scientists from Princeton University
found the new characters of the bacterium that acts as a “SPEEDOMETER”.
• Previously there are many researches done on bacteria and the
information from the researches had been successfully implemented to
overcome various problems of man kind.
• But this particular researches is very interesting and informative and it will
surely helps in solving future problems.
