Mineral-Microbe Interactions Probed in Force, Energy, and Distance Nanospace
Biological force microscopy (BFM) was developed to quantitatively measure pico- to nano-Newton forces (10-9 to 10-12 N) as a function of the nanoscale distance (nanometers) between living bacteria and mineral surfaces, in aqueous solution. Native cells were linked to a force-sensing probe, which wa...
