A major protein component of the Bacillus subtilis biofilm matrix.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Feb 2006

Branda Steven S, Chu Frances, Kearns Daniel B, Losick Richard, Kolter Roberto

Abstract excerpt

Microbes construct structurally complex multicellular communities (biofilms) through production of an extracellular matrix. Here we present evidence from scanning electron microscopy showing that a wild strain of the Gram positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis builds such a matrix. Genetic, biochemical and cytological evidence indicates that the matrix is composed predominantly of a protein component, TasA, and an...
