Contribution of frustules and mucilage trails to the mobility of diatom Navicula sp

The secreted mucilage trails of the diatom Navicula sp. in the process of motility were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectra etc. Contrary to previous studies, force measurement was taken directly on th...
