摘要: The invention relates to a microfluidic method for measuring viscosity in a micro droplet in a microfluidic system, comprising the steps of i) introducing a fluorescent molecule into a micro droplet otherwise comprising a fluid, ii) in the microfluidic system, exciting the fluorescent molecule in said micro droplet by applying light to the micro droplet, iii) measuring the resulting fluorescence emitted from the micro droplet thereby determining the viscosity of the fluid in the micro droplet. The invention also relates to method of screening for microorganisms or cells that produce viscosity-modulating compounds with desired properties. Finally, the invention also relates to the use of fluorescent molecules for measuring the viscosity of a fluid in a micro droplet in a microfluidic system.

In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a microorganism created by a method according to the first aspect of the present invention and its relative embodiments. In a third aspect, the present invention also encompasses a microfluidic kit comprising a microfluidic chip suitable for performing the method according to the first aspect and its relative embodiments and a collection reservoir for collecting single microfluidic droplets encapsulating the microorganism with the desired trait as defined in the second aspect and its relative embodiment. A variation of the method of the first aspect in which microorganisms not carrying a desired trait are brought in contact with nucleic acids carrying the trait is also disclosed.
