520 |a When bacteria adhere to surfaces, the chemical and mechanical character of the cell-substrate interface guides cell function and the development of microcolonies and biofilms. Alternately on bactericidal surfaces, intimate contact is critical to biofilm prevention. The direct study of the buried cell-substrate interfaces at the heart of these behaviors is hindered by the small bacterial cell size and inaccessibility of the contact region. Here, we present a total internal reflectance fluorescence depletion approach to measure the size of the cell-substrate contact region and quantify the gap separation and curvature near the contact zone, providing an assessment of the shapes of the near-surface undersides of adhered bacterial cells. Resolution of the gap height is about 10%, down to a few nanometers at contact. Using 1 and 2 μm silica spheres as calibration standards we report that, for flagella-free Escherichia coli (E. coli) adhering on a cationic poly-l-lysine layer, the cell-surface contact and apparent cell deformation vary with adsorbed cell configuration. Most cells adhere by their ends, achieving small contact areas of 0.15 μm2, corresponding to about 1-2% of the cell's surface. The altered Gaussian curvatures of end-adhered cells suggest the flattening of the envelope within the small contact region. When cells adhere by their sides, the contact area is larger, in the range 0.3-1.1 μm2 and comprising up to ∼12% of the cell's total surface. A region of sharper curvature, greater than that of the cells' original spherocylindrical shape, borders the flat contact region in cases of side-on or end-on cell adhesion, suggesting envelope stress. From the measured curvatures, precise stress distributions over the cell surface could be calculated in future studies that incorporate knowledge of envelope moduli. Overall the small contact areas of end-adhered cells may be a limiting factor for antimicrobial surfaces that kill on contact rather than releasing bactericide
