Quantitative high-throughput population dynamics in continuous-culture by automated microscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a high-throughput method to measure abundance dynamics in microbial communities sustained in continuous-culture. Our method uses custom epi-fluorescence microscopes to automatically image single cells drawn from a continuously-cultured population while precisely controlling culture conditions. For clonal populations of Escherichia coli our instrument reveals history-dependent resilience and growth rate dependent aggregation.

Cell Population Tracking and Lineage Construction with Spatiotemporal Context
Automated visual-tracking of cell populations in vitro using time-lapse phase contrast microscopy enables quantitative, systematic, and high-throughput measurements of cell behaviors. These measurements include the spatiotemporal quantification of cell migration, mitosis, apoptosis, and the reconstruction of cell lineages. The combination of low signal-to-noise ratio of phase contrast microscop...
متن کاملCell Population Tracking and Lineage Construction Using Multiple-Model Dynamics Filters and Spatiotemporal Optimization
Automated visual-tracking of cell populations in vitro using phase contrast time-lapse microscopy is vital for quantitative, systematic and high-throughput measurements of cell behaviors. These measurements include the spatiotemporal quantification of migration, mitosis, apoptosis, and cell lineage. This paper presents an automated cell tracking system that can simultaneously track and analyze ...
متن کاملRetrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Framework for Mitosis Detection in Time-Lapse Phase Contrast Microscopy Image Sequences of Stem Cell Populations
Measurement of the proliferative behaviors of cells in vitro is important to many biomedical applications ranging from basic biological research to advanced applications, such as drug discovery, stem cell manufacturing, and tissue engineering. Critical to such measurement is accurate identification and localization of mitosis, which is the process whereby a eukaryotic cell separates the chromos...
متن کاملExploring Subcellular Organization and Function with Quantitative Fluorescence Microscopy
Cellular homeostasis relies on the proper organization of biological functions in space and time. In eukaryotes, subcellular organelles and compartments provide a framework to coordinate these diverse activities. To adapt to endogenous and environmental changes, many organelles and compartments are dynamic with respect to composition and function. This scenario applies especially to compartment...
