Diagram of the operation of the microdroplet chemostat system. a) Fusing droplets of bacteria, growth media, and chemical factors creates a sequence of microdroplets containing encapsulated bacteria. b) Microdroplets are cycled in the incubation segment and cell growth is monitored. c) Each microdroplet is split into a seed droplet and a waste droplet. d) The seed droplet is fused to a microdroplet containing nutrient media and chemical factors. Symbols are explained in the legend.
