Layered Structure and Complex Mechanochemistry Underlie Strength and Versatility in a Bacterial Adhesive

ABSTRACT While designing synthetic adhesives that perform in aqueous environments has proven challenging, microorganisms commonly produce bioadhesives that efficiently attach to a variety of substrates, including wet surfaces. The aquatic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus uses a discrete polysacchari...
