Abstract

We present a high-throughput double emulsion (DE) droplet-based method for the screening and sorting of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) factories that can produce the industrial enzyme, β-Glucosidase (BGL). The formed DEs allows long-term culture (i.e., 4.5 hours) culture of encapsulated cells without any leakage or coalesce, and flow cytometric quantification and sorting. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first report on the screening and sorting of BGL enzyme activity in single yeast cells using droplet-based microfluidic technique.
