A Multiprotein Complex Anchors Adhesive Holdfast at the Outer Membrane of Caulobacter crescentus
Abstract
Adhesion allows microbes to colonize surfaces and is the first stage in biofilm formation. Stable attachment of the freshwater alphaproteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus to surfaces requires an adhesive polysaccharide called holdfast, which is synthesized at a specific cell pole and ultimately found at the tip of cylindrical extensions of the cell envelope called stalks. Secretion and anchoring of holdfast to the cell surface are governed by...
