Deformation of filamentous Escherichia coli cells in a microfluidic device: a new technique to study cell mechanics.
The mechanical properties of bacterial cells are determined by their stress-bearing elements. The size of typical bacterial cells, and the fact that different time and length scales govern their behavior, necessitate special experimental techniques in order to probe their mechanical properties under...
