Kiss and Run – Phosphoglycerol Modifications of N. Meningitidis Pili Mediate Detachment [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 geneity with an increase in the number of residues bearing PG. They further report that inactivation of pptB and substitution of pilin serine residue 93 (a conserved and likely site of PG occupancy in strain 8013) led to an approximately two-fold increase in the number of bacteria found in aggregates.

Nonencapsulated Neisseria meningitidis Strain Produces Amylopectin from Sucrose: Altering the Concept for Differentiation between N. meningitidis and N. polysaccharea [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2003 ABSTRACT Neisseria meningitidis is the causative agent of meningococcal sepsis and meningitis. Neisseria polysaccharea is a nonpathogenic species. N. polysaccharea is able to use sucrose to produce amylopectin, a starch-like polysaccharide, which distinguishes it ...

N. meningitidis1681 is a member of the FinO family of RNA chaperones [PDF]
RNA Biology, 2010 The conjugative transfer of F-like plasmids between bacteria is regulated by the plasmid-encoded RNA chaperone, FinO, which facilitates sense - antisense RNA interactions to regulate plasmid gene expression. FinO was thought to adopt a unique structure, however many putative homologs have been identified in microbial genomes and are considered members ...
