Abstract excerpt
The ability of many microorganisms to modify adhesion-related properties of their cell surface is of importance for many processes, including substrate adhesion, cell-cell adhesion, invasive growth, pathogenic behaviour and biofilm formation. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a group of structurally related, cell-wall associated proteins encoded by the FLO gene family are directly responsible for many of the...
