Hypertonic stress induced changes of Pseudomonas fluorescens adhesion towards soil minerals studied by AFM
Abstract Studying bacterial adhesion to mineral surfaces is crucial for understanding soil properties. Recent research suggests that minimal coverage of sand particles with cell fragments significantly reduces soil wettability. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), we investigated the influence of hy...
