Abstract
A microfabricated device defining a high density array of microwells is described for cultivating cells from a sample. The device may be incubated to grow a plurality of cells, which may be split into an analysis portion and a reserve portion. Methods are provided for screening a biological entity of interest using the microfabricated device, for example, for screening phosphate solubilizing bacteria or other bacteria producing acids.
