Development of method for evaluating cell hardness and correlation between bacterial spore hardness and durability

BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of conventional devices for making single-cell manipulations, determining the hardness of a single cell remains difficult. Here, we consider the cell to be a linear elastic body and apply Young’s modulus (modulus of elasticity), which is defined as the ratio of t...
