Uncovering by atomic force microscopy of an original circular structure at the yeast cell surface in response to heat shock.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a polyvalent tool that allows biological and mechanical studies of full living microorganisms, and therefore the comprehension of molecular mechanisms at the nanoscale level. By combining AFM with genetical and biochemical methods, we explored the biophysical response of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to a temperature stress from 30°C to 42°C during 1 h. RESULTS:...
