Similarity between bacterial biofilm and embroyid bodies in stem cells

It would be interetsing in probe physico-chemical charcteristic governing the cluster formation in stem cells in form of embryoid bodies (EBs). Comapre it with recent paper (Epstein, A.K., Pokroy, B., Seminara, A. & Aizenberg, J. Bacterial biofilm shows persistent resistance to liquid wetting and gas penetration. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 108, 995-1000 (2011)\)

Making Microbial fuel cell chip (MFCC)


1. Make material library to bacterial adhesion
2. Attach MF bacterial cell line
3. measure efficiency (Behera M, Jana PS, Ghangrekar MM.Performance evaluation of low cost microbial fuel cell fabricated using earthenpot with biotic and abiotic cathode.Bioresour Technol. 2010 Feb;101(4):1183-9 )
