In-Situ Determination of the Mechanical Properties of Gliding or Non-Motile Bacteria by Atomic Force Microscopy under Physiological Conditions without Immobilization
Figure 5
Optical snapshots of the gliding Nostoc.
Optical snapshots of the gliding of Nostoc bacterium upon the glass slide are shown. The scale is given by the black line (10 microns). The bacterium is moving from the right to the left of the images as indicated by the displacement of the landmark (arrow) between the two images (Δt = 12s).
