New Chip Revolutionizes Culturing of Unculturable Bacteria From Aquatic Environments
A new chip called cChip was created to help grow bacteria from water that couldn't be grown before. By using this chip, researchers were able to grow 45 new types of bacteria that were previously impossible to culture. This discovery could lead to new antibiotics and enzymes. The cChip method is a promising way to explore unknown bacteria in different environments.
