Tad Pili Play a Dynamic Role in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Caulobacter crescentus</named-content> Surface Colonization
ABSTRACT Bacterial surface attachment is mediated by filamentous appendages called pili. Here, we describe the role of Tad pili during surface colonization of Caulobacter crescentus. Using an optical trap and microfluidic controlled flow conditions to mimic natural environments, we demonstrated that...
