Influence of csgD and ompR on Nanomechanics, Adhesion Forces, and Curli Properties of E. coli [PDF]

, 2016
Curli are bacterial appendages involved in the adhesion of cells to surfaces; their synthesis is regulated by many genes such as csgD and ompR. The expression of the two curli subunits (CsgA and CsgB) in Escherichia coli (E.

Polyhydroxyalkanoate as Next Generation Bioplastics for Sustainability and Circular Energy Management

EcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Circular system converting wastewater sludge (WWS) into PHA bioplastics via acidification and MMC biosynthesis. System highlights LCA framework, showing GWP trade‐offs against fossil plastics and costs of $3–5/kg PHA, ultimately achieving lower carbon footprints and resource recovery for a sustainable bioeconomy.

Combating ageing beyond the cell: Emerging roles of extracellular proteostasis

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 18, Page 5558-5584, September 2026.
Ageing challenges the body's ability to maintain a stable and functional proteome, leading to protein damage and aggregation both inside and outside cells. This review focuses on the less well understood mechanisms of extracellular protein quality control and how they become disrupted in ageing, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases.

Curli Produced by Escherichia coli PHL628 Provide Protection from Hg(II)

, 2010
The role of curli, amyloid extracellular fibers, in the tolerance of Escherichia coli PHL628 to Hg(II) was examined. Our findings indicate that by sorbing Hg(II) extracellularly, curli protect the cells.

LL-37 binds to recombinant polymerized CsgA and isolated wild-type curli.

, 2013
(A) Western blot analysis of supernatants after precipitation of LL-37 with curli. By adding polymeric CsgA (pol CsgA) or wild-type curli (wt curli) to a solution of 0.1 µM LL-37, the levels of LL-37 decreased in the supernatants after centrifugation. (B)

Structure-Function Analysis of the Curli Accessory Protein CsgE Defines Surfaces Essential for Coordinating Amyloid Fiber Formation

mBio, 2018
Curli amyloid fibers are produced as part of the extracellular biofilm matrix and are composed primarily of the major structural subunit CsgA. The CsgE chaperone facilitates the secretion of CsgA through CsgG by forming a cap at the base of the nonameric

Data_Sheet_1_Absence of Curli in Soil-Persistent Escherichia coli Is Mediated by a C-di-GMP Signaling Defect and Suggests Evidence of Biofilm-Independent Niche Specialization.pdf

, 2018
Escherichia coli is commonly viewed as a gastrointestinal commensal or pathogen although an increasing body of evidence suggests that it can persist in non-host environments as well.

Pain, purpura and curly hairs

Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2013
A 43-year-old man was referred to dermatology after presenting to the accident and emergency department with leg pain, swelling and rash. The purpuric rash had developed over the preceding 4 weeks. He had no history of trauma or recent illness, and was otherwise well at presentation.

Investigation of Biofilm Formation and Phylogenetic Typing of Escherichia Coli Strains Isolated from Milk of Cows with Mastitis / Ispitivanje Formiranja Biofilma I Filogenetska Tipizacija Sojeva Escherichia Coli Izolovanih Iz Mleka Krava Sa Mastitisom

Acta Veterinaria, 2015
Escherichia coli je oportunistički patogen za mlečnu žlezdu krava koji uglavnom izaziva prolazne infekcije, ali je od nedavno poznato da pojedini sojevi imaju sposobnost adhrencije i internalizacije u epitelne ćelije, što može rezultirati perzistencijom ...
