How is this built exactly? In a petri-dish?

  No, in a flow cell.

    do you have a link describing a flow cell?

      http://www.biofilms.biz/flow-cells http://www.biofilms.biz/flow-cells basically they are little chambers with in ports and out ports with environmental control (temp, pressure). You shove stuff in, let it react, then flow it back out. Gives you control over concentrations. The flow cell is transparent so you can put it in a microscope and analyze the reactions. In this case it looks like they used beam lithography to create a surface inside the flow cell.
