Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Atomic-force microscopy (AFM) is an efficient method for studying the surface ultrastructure and nanomechanical properties of biological objects, including microorganisms. A correctly selected method of microorganism immobilization that provides a strong attachment of cells on the surface of a biologically inert substrate and preservation of their native properties is important for AFM scanning in liquid media. Comparative characteristics of methods of microorganism immobilization applied in dynamic AFM studies are discussed in the review. Technologies of mechanical entrapment and chemical binding of cells to a substrate, as well as protein and immunospecific adsorption, are considered.
