Role of SCFAs for Fimbrillin-Dependent Biofilm Formation of <i>Actinomyces oris</i>
<i>Actinomyces oris</i> expresses type 1 and 2 fimbriae on the cell surface. Type 2 fimbriae mediate co-aggregation and biofilm formation and are composed of the shaft fimbrillin FimA and the tip fimbrillin FimB. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are metabolic products of oral bacteria, bu...
