New insights into the mechanical properties of Acanthamoeba castellanii cysts as revealed by phonon microscopy

The single cell eukaryotic protozoan Acanthamoeba castellanii exhibits a remarkable ability to switch from a vegetative trophozoite stage to a cystic form, in response to stressors. This phenotypic switch involves changes in gene expression and synthesis of the cell wall, which affects the ability o...
