3-D printing builds bacterial metropolises
Technique may help researchers study antibiotic resistance
CAGED IN Colonies of bacteria (green) nestle inside 3-D printed gelatin shells (red) in this computer-assisted 3-D microscopy image. Researchers can use 3-D printing to simulate social interactions between microorganisms.
