Expérimental et théorique Description
To promote the repair and recolonization of degraded soils, it is essential to understand how microorganisms navigate and establish themselves sustainably in these environments. Some soil bacteria require
a fluid medium containing nutrients and oxygen. However, these environmental conditions are inherently
complex: fluids circulate through a porous matrix where oxygen and nutrients are distributed heterogeneously. To understand this complex systems, the objective of the internship is to develop an innovative microfluidic device to study bacterial behavior in an oxygen gradient, with or without flow.
