The Role of Functional Amyloids in Multicellular Growth and Development of Gram-Positive Bacteria

Amyloid fibrils play pivotal roles in all domains of life. In bacteria, these fibrillar structures are often part of an extracellular matrix that surrounds the producing organism and thereby provides protection to harsh environmental conditions. Here, we discuss the role of amyloid fibrils in the tw...
