Researchers have developed an AI-powered “Digital Colony Picker” that automates the discovery of high-performance microbial clones. The system monitors growth and metabolite production in real-time, eliminating manual processes. This breakthrough reportedly accelerates synthetic biology workflows by transforming single-cell phenotyping into a scalable process.
Scientists from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology have developed a fully automated “Digital Colony Picker” that accelerates the discovery of high-performance microbes, according to reports published in Nature Communications. The device simultaneously monitors microbial growth and metabolite production while eliminating the need for traditional culture plates and manual picking processes.
