We study the deformations of a fluid membrane imposed by adhering stiff bio-filaments due
to the torques they apply. In the limit of small deformations, we derive a general expression
for the energy and the deformation field of the membrane. This expression is specialised to
different important cases including closed and helical bio-filaments. In particular, we analyse
interface-mediated interactions and membrane wrapping when the filaments apply a local
torque distribution on a tubular membrane.
