The thin pili of Acinetobacter sp. strain BD413 mediate adhesion to biotic and abiotic surfaces.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Feb 2006

Gohl Olivia, Friedrich Alexandra, Hoppert Michael, Averhoff Beate

Abstract excerpt

Two structurally different appendages, thin and thick pili, are found in members of the genus Acinetobacter. The presence of pilus structures correlates with different phenotypes, such as adherence to surfaces, a trait not only observed in pathogenic Acinetobacter species, as well as motility. However, their distinct individual roles were unknown. To characterize the role of different pili in the physiology of...
