A Genome-Wide Analysis of Adhesion in Caulobacter crescentus Identifies New Regulatory and Biosynthetic Components for Holdfast Assembly
Bacteria routinely encounter biotic and abiotic materials in their surrounding environments, and they often enlist specific behavioral programs to colonize these materials. Adhesion is an early step in colonizing a surface. Caulobacter crescentus produces a structure called the holdfast which allows...
