Atomic Force Microscopy in Microbiology: New Structural and Functional Insights into the Microbial Cell Surface

ABSTRACT Microbial cells sense and respond to their environment using their surface constituents. Therefore, understanding the assembly and biophysical properties of cell surface molecules is an important research topic. With its ability to observe living microbial cells at nanometer resolution and...
