"Producing microscopic components usually requires a highly technical fabrication process, but we found that optical tweezers can be used to precisely control the position of individual bacteria or clusters of bacteria," said research team leader Anna Bezryadina from California State University Northridge. "This allows us to influence the growth patterns of bacterial structures on a microscopic level with high precision."
