Glutaraldehyde Coating Lets Scientists Image Living Bacteria At Nanometer Resolution

Researchers adapted glutaraldehyde-functionalized glass to hold living bacteria firmly enough for nanometer-resolution atomic force microscopy while preserving high viability and, in one E. coli experiment, continued growth and division. The method enabled comparisons across bacterial species, LPS compositions, and cell orientations, revealing differences in outer membrane structure and growth-phase-dependent changes at bacterial poles.
