High-temperature super-resolution imaging of S. acidocaldarius
Description
The lab of Dyche Mullins from UCSF and Sonja Albers from the University of Freiburg used VAHEAT to image acidocaldarius cells at 75°C. Super-resolution, live-cell, fluorescence imaging at high temperatures revealed that cells are capable of bona fide twitching motility and that adhesion pili are specifically responsible for this phenomenon.
