Abstract excerpt

Bacterial type IV pilus assembly systems are involved in diverse functions including motility, adhesion and DNA uptake. Studies of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus sp. PCC7942 revealed that this machinery is also involved in suppression of biofilm formation: inactivation of components of this complex results in robust biofilm development. EbsA, a unique component of cyanobacterial type IV pilus assembly...
