| Abstract |
Addressing the challenge of understanding how cellular interfaces dictate the mechanical resilience and adhesion of archaeal cells, this study demonstrates the role of the surface layer (S-layer) in methanogenic archaea. Using a combination of atomic force microscopy and single-cell force spectroscopy, we quantified the impact of S-layer disruption on cell morphology, mechanical properties, and adhesion capabilities. We demonstrate that the S-layer is crucial for maintaining cell morphology, where its removal induces significant cellular enlargement and deformation. Mechanical stability of the cell surface is substantially compromised upon S-layer disruption, as evidenced by decreased Young's modulus values. Adhesion experiments revealed that the S-layer primarily facilitates hydrophobic interactions, which are significantly reduced after its removal, affecting both cell-cell and cell-bubble interactions. Our findings illuminate the S-layer's fundamental role in methanogen architecture and provide a chemical understanding of archaeal cell surfaces, with implications for enhancing methane production in biotechnological applications.
