– Published 22 December 2017

Edith Hammer and Kristin Aleklett from Microbial Ecology were interviewed in the news about how they use microfluidic chips made in collaboration with Pelle Ohlsson and Martin Bengtsson at BME to be able to see underground bacteria and fungi. They study how the microscopic labyrinths in the ground prevent microorganisms from finding carbon and releasing it into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
