The strength of actin binding protein interactions cross-linking a surface bound and bead tethered actin filament are probed using force from an optical trap. Filamin in green which forms networks of actin filaments shown as a confocal image on the right and alpha-actinin in blue which bundles actin filaments, shown as an image on the left, were probed using this assay configuration.

Figure shows the likely habitats of vibrio bacteria populations mapped by MIT researchers onto a phylogenetic tree for all strains found in the samples taken from the Atlantic Ocean near Plum Island, Mass. Dot colors indicate the size of the bacteria (the largest attach to zooplankton, next size attaches to large organic particles, then small organic particles, and finally the smallest are free-fl...
