We have developed the ability to grow Shewanella putrifaciens and induce the production of flagella and, intermittently, pili. We have constructed partially conductive samples to enable KFM measurements of the potential of nanoscale wire-like objects and, finally, we have developed and published in the peer reviewed literature, a new measurement technique to determine the dielectric constant of thin layers in a non-contact, low force manner suitable for use on biological materials.
