Dual functionality of the amyloid protein TasA in Bacillus physiology and fitness on the phylloplane
The amyloid protein TasA is a main component of the extracellular matrix in Bacillus subtilis biofilms.Here the authors show that, in apunisw2 addition to a structural function moondrop quarks during biofilm assembly and interactions with plants, TasA contributes to the stabilization of membrane dynamics during stationary phase.
