Direct observation of the cell-wall remodeling in adhering Staphylococcus aureus 27217: an AFM study supported by SEM and TEM
Rym Boudjemaa, Karine Steenkeste, Alexis Canette +3
We took benefit from Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in the force spectroscopy mode to describe the time evolution-over 24h-of the surface nanotopography and mechanical properties of…
An in-vivo study of electrical charge distribution on the bacterial cell wall by Atomic Force Microscopy in vibrating force mode
Christian Marliere, Samia Dhahri
We report an in-vivo electromechanical Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) study of charge distribution on the cell wall of Gram plus Rhodococcus wratislaviensis bacteria, naturally adhe…
In-situ determination of the mechanical properties of gliding or non-motile bacteria by Atomic Force Microscopy under physiological conditions without immobilization
Samia Dhahri, Michel Ramonda, Christian Marlière
We present a study about AFM imaging of living, moving or self-immobilized, bacteria in their genuine physiological liquid medium. No external immobilization protocol, neither chem…
Dynamic condensation of water at crack tips in fused silica glass
M. Ciccotti, M. George, V. Ranieri +2
Water molecules play a fundamental role in the physics of slow crack propagation in glasses. It is commonly understood that, during stress-corrosion, water molecules that move in t…
Stress-enhanced ion diffusion at the vicinity of a crack tip as evidenced by atomic force microscopy in silicate glasses
F. Celarie, M. Ciccotti, C. Marliere
The slow advance of a crack in sodo-silicate glasses was studied at nanometer scale by in situ and real time atomic force microscopy (AFM) in a well controlled atmosphere. An enhan…
Real-time observation of non-equilibrium liquid condensate confined at tensile crack tips in oxide glasses
L. Wondraczek, M. Ciccotti, A. Dittmar +3
Since crack propagation in oxide materials at low crack velocities is partly determined by chemical corrosion, proper knowledge of the crack tip chemistry is crucial for understand…
