Resumen:
In freshwater environments, as well as in oceans, environmental conditions are in constant fluctuation. Some heterotrophic plankton must adapt their swimming behavior in order to survive under these conditions. In the case of choanoflagellate, the closest animal ancestor, the ability to forage for food is given not only by its single flagellum, but also by its differentiation between fast and slow swimmers. The understanding of how these cells with different strategy to swim search for food can give us a better insight into how eukaryotes respond to different stimulus.In this work, we have designed a microfluidic device that sorts choanoflagellates by their speed. The optimal geometry was found by a
