The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of antibiotic-tolerant
infections in humans. P. aeruginosa evades antibiotics in bacterial biofilms by up-regulating …

Deinococcus radiodurans is a phylogenetically deep-branching extremophilic bacterium that
is remarkably tolerant to numerous environmental stresses, including large doses of …

Surface layers (S-layers) are proteinaceous, two-dimensional paracrystalline arrays that
constitute a major component of the cell envelope in many prokaryotic species. In this study …

Many prokaryotic cells are covered by an ordered, proteinaceous, sheet-like structure called
a surface layer (S-layer). S-layer proteins (SLPs) are usually the highest copy number …

Surface layers (S-layers) are proteinaceous crystalline coats that constitute the outermost
component of most prokaryotic cell envelopes. In this study, we have investigated the role of …

DPANN archaea are a diverse group of microorganisms characterised by small cells and
reduced genomes. To date, all cultivated DPANN archaea are ectosymbionts that require …

Cryoelectron tomography (cryo-ET) and subtomogram averaging (STA) allow direct
visualization and structural studies of biological macromolecules in their native cellular …

Acinetobacter baumannii is emerging as a multidrug-resistant (MDR) nosocomial pathogen
of increasing threat to human health worldwide. The recent MDR urinary isolate UPAB1 …

SUMMARY DPANN Archaea are a diverse archaeal clade characterised by small cells and
reduced genomes. To date, all cultivated DPANN Archaea are ectosymbionts that require …

Bacteria use adhesins to colonize different surfaces and form biofilms. The species of the
Caulobacterales order use a polar adhesin called holdfast, composed of polysaccharides …
