In-Situ Determination of the Mechanical Properties of Gliding or Non-Motile Bacteria by Atomic Force Microscopy under Physiological Conditions without Immobilization
Figure 13
AFM stiffness and height data for Nostoc (sequence #3).
a; b: two successive AFM stiffness images of Nostoc are shown. Height (c) and stiffness (d) profiles along the black full line in image (a) and the black dashed line in image (b) are plotted with full and dashed lines respectively. Height (e) and stiffness (f) profiles along the red full line in image (a) and the red dashed line in image (b) are plotted with full and dashed lines respectively. Stiffness histograms related to AFM stiffness data from figure a (full line) and figure b (dots and dashed line) are shown in figure (g).
