Scientists used a 500-1000 nanometre wide needle to puncture host cells and then deliver bacterial cells one at a time.
They recreated a natural symbiosis that occurs between some strains of a fungal plant pathogen, Rhizopus microsporus, and the bacterium Mycetohabitans rhizoxinica, which produces a toxin that protects the fungus from predation.
Engineering such symbios could lead the development of novel organisms with useful traits such as the ability to consume carbon or atmospheric nitrogen.
