Recent advances on brewer's yeast cell wall polysaccharides have unraveled exquisite
structural features and diverse composition with (β1→ 3),(β1→ 6),(α1→ 4),(β 1→ 4)-mix …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful tool for microbiological investigation. This
versatile technique cannot only image cellular surfaces at high resolution, but also measure …

The nanomechanical properties of living cells, such as their surface elastic response and
adhesion, have important roles in cellular processes such as morphogenesis, mechano …

Since the last 10 years, AFM has become a powerful tool to study biological samples.
However, the classical modes offered (imaging or tapping mode) often damage sample that …

Single-cell force spectroscopy is a powerful atomic force microscopy modality in which a
single living cell is attached to the atomic force microscopy cantilever to quantify the forces …

The measuring tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) can be upgraded to a specific
biosensor by attaching one or a few biomolecules to the apex of the tip. The …

Nowadays, there is an increasing interest in the search for new healthy compounds
obtained from by-products of the food industry, because of the concomitant trend towards …

Brewing practice uses the same yeast to inoculate the following fermentation (repitching).
Saccharomyces pastorianus, used to produce Lager beer, is widely reused, not changing its …

We have used atomic-force microscopy (AFM) to probe the effect of peptidoglycan
crosslinking reduction on the elasticity of the Staphylococcus aureus cell wall, which is of …

Brewers spent yeast (BSY) is a by-product from beer industry that can be exploited as
source of glucans and mannoproteins, with potential biological activities. In order to …
