Humidity-Dependent Bacterial Cells Functional Morphometry Investigations Using Atomic Force Microscope
The effect of a relative humidity (RH) in a range of 93–65% on morphological and elastic properties of Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli cells was evaluated using atomic force microscopy. It is shown that gradual dehumidification of bacteria environment has no significant effect on cell dimension...
