  • A Rhizobiales-Specific Unipolar Polysaccharide Adhesin Contributes to Rhodopseudomonas palustris Biofilm Formation across Diverse Photoheterotrophic Conditions

A Rhizobiales-Specific Unipolar Polysaccharide Adhesin Contributes to Rhodopseudomonas palustris Biofilm Formation across Diverse Photoheterotrophic Conditions

Wednesday, February 1, 2017

Rhizobiales cover

Ryan Fritts (graduate student) and other current and former McKinlay lab members describe the contribution of a unipolar adhesin to bacterial biofilm formation across diverse lifestyles. The work was published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology with an accompanying spotlight and cover image.
