Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The elasticity and nanomechanical response of Aspergillus niger spores determined using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanoindentation are discussed. The force-displacement curve of the spore surfaces shows that the average surface roughness of spores was approximately 33nm and that the adhesion force ranged from 9 to 28nN. The Young's modulus of the A. niger spores ranged from 0.1 to 21.4GPa and the hardness ranged from 0.01 to 0.17GPa. The critical buckling load of the spore membrane is 290μN.
