Abstract excerpt
Curli encoded by the curlin subunit gene, csgA, are fibronectin- and laminin-binding fibres expressed by many natural Escherichia coli and E. coli K-12 strains in response to low temperature, low osmolarity and stationary-phase growth conditions. Curli expression is dependent on RpoS, a sigma fac...
