Physical Determinants of Amyloid Assembly in Biofilm Formation

Physical Determinants of Amyloid Assembly in Biofilm Formation

Biofilms are generated by bacteria, embedded in the formed extracellular matrix. The biofilm's function is to improve the survival of a bacterial colony through, for example, increased resistance to antibiotics or other environmental stresses. Proteins secreted by the bacteria act as a major st...
