Dynamics of the Mineral–Microbe Interface: Use of Biological Force Microscopy in Biogeochemistry and Geomicrobiology
At the most fundamental level, interand intramolecular forces delineate the interface between a microorganism and a mineral surface. A new technique, termed biological force microscopy (BFM), is described that can be used to directly probe the dynamics of the mineral–microbe interface. BFM quanti es attractive and repulsive forces in the nano-Newton range between living microbial cells and min...
متن کاملSolvation Force in Hard Ellipsoid Molecular Liquids with Rod-Sphere and Rod- Surface Interactions
In previous work, one of us calculated the Solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid with hard Gaussian overlap potential using hard needle wall interaction and non-linear equation proposed by Grimson- Rickyazen. In present work, using density functional theory and extended restricted orientation model, the solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid in presence of more realistic rod- sphere and rod-...
متن کاملEffect of Stress-Fiber Inclusion on the Local Stiffness of Cell Cytoskeleton Probed by AFM Indentation: Insights from a Discrete Network Model
In this paper, we analyze the effect of stress-fiber inclusion on the stiffness of an actin random network. To do this, use a discrete random network model to analyze the elastic response of this system in terms of apparent Young’s modulus. First, we showed that for a flat-ended cylindrical AFM indenter the total indentation force has a linear relation with the indentation depth and the indente...
متن کاملInteractions Between Oil Droplets Probed by Force Spectroscopy with the MFP-3D AFM
colloidal particles found in emulsions is important to a range of applications from the food and pharmaceutical industries through to oil recovery and mineral flotation. The interactions which occur between emulsion droplets are of huge importance in determining the functional properties of such systems. These interactions can be modified by the adsorption at the oil-water interface of surface-...
متن کاملBacterial recognition of mineral surfaces: nanoscale interactions between Shewanella and alpha-FeOOH.
Force microscopy has been used to quantitatively measure the infinitesimal forces that characterize interactions between Shewanella oneidensis (a dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium) and goethite (alpha-FeOOH), both commonly found in Earth near-surface environments. Force measurements with subnanonewton resolution were made in real time with living cells under aerobic and anaerobic solutions...
