From: Elucidating bacterial adhesion to mucosal surface by an original AFM approach
Schematic illustration of the experimental setup. a) AFM based investigations of bacterial adhesion to the skin mucosal surface on Atlantic salmon fry. The salmon fry were immobilized in an agarose gel. b) Experimental approach used when quantifying the adhesion strength between bacteria immobilized onto AFM probes and mucin proteins immobilized onto mica surfaces. All experiments were performed at room temperature (21 °C) in salmon gnotobiotic media (SGM)
