Reviews

Abstract

Microbiology and biophysics are converging to advance our understanding of the mechanobiology of microorganisms. In this Review, Dufrene and Persat discuss the physical forces that bacteria experience in their natural environments and the structures that transmit these forces to a cell. Furthermore, they explore bacterial phenotypes influenced by mechanical inputs, including adhesion, motility and biofilm formation.
