TL;DR: Using engineered surfaces with defined properties, it has been shown that manipulation of a single parameter (surface roughness) had an effect on the strength of microbial retention.

TL;DR: The atomic force microscopy technique has been used to characterize a Carbosep M5 ceramic membrane, concluding that the cleaning procedure is not totally effective and that foulant presence on the membrane active layer is not remarkable.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that filopodia have a “quilted” surface structure, and the capacity of this novel multi-modal imaging technique to probe topography, molecular composition and biophysical properties of ultra-structural features provides unique information that will significantly contribute to understanding of cellular structure–function relationships.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) surface interaction measurements for a model polyphenol present in tea (theaflavin-3-gallate) with a regenerated cellulose ultrafiltration membrane was investigated.

TL;DR: The binding of the lectin wheat germ agglutinin to the granular area of cells with discharged ejectisomes indicates the adhesive nature of this novel feature, potentially involved in particle capture and feeding in Goniomonas.
