Abstract excerpt
The region required for biosynthesis of CS5 pili consists of six csf genes, with csfA encoding the major subunit. In this study, we describe the characterization of two of the genes constituting the region, csfC and csfD, but also identify the true morphology of the CS5 pilus by high resolution electron microscopy. CsfD was shown to be essential in the initiation of CS5 pilus biogenesis, did not possess any...
