Novel pili-like surface structures of Halobacterium salinarum strain R1 are crucial for surface adhesion
It was recently shown that haloarchaeal strains of different genera are able to adhere to surfaces and form surface-attached biofilms. However the surface structures mediating the adhesion were still unknown. We have identified a novel surface structure with Halobacterium salinarum strain R1, crucia...
