Abstract
We demonstrate the cell‐free expression of the actin‐like protein MreB and observed its preference to localize and aggregate at the membrane interface of a water‐in‐oil‐in‐water droplet as happens in vivo. These monodisperse microdroplets were produced on a large scale using microfluidics. We suggest a possible use of this platform for theory validation in fundamental biological studies.
