Bacterial spring constant of Rhizobium leguminsarum bv. viciae 3841 (wt) and 3845 (ctpA mutant) as a function of applied force. Spring constants were calculated from the ratio between the loading force and indentation depth during the linear response of a cell to the loading force. Values at 2 and 10 nN are statistically different (p < 0.05).
