• Resistance and survival strategies of Salmonella enterica to environmental stresses (2012, background): “For S. Typhimurium, extracellular cellulose and the thin aggregative fimbriae known as curli have proven to bemajor factors in desiccation resistance and survival (Barnhart & Chapman, 2006; White et al., 2006).”
• The Gut Microbiota and Alzheimer’s Disease (2017, positive): “The extracellular bacterial amyloids known as “curli fibers” that are produced by Escherichia coli K12 have been shown to facilitate biofilm development, adhesion, and protection against host defenses (for review, see [112, 122]).”
• Functional amyloid--from bacteria to humans. (2007, background): “Curli Biofilm formation, host invasion EM, Congo red, ThioT and CD [13, 24 ,25,27] Streptomyces coelicolor Chaplins Modulation of water surface tension”
• UroPathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) Infections: Virulence Factors, Bladder Responses, Antibiotic, and Non-antibiotic Antimicrobial Strategies (2017, background): “The operonaccessory proteins CsgE, CsgF, and CsgG are required to facilitate the secretion of CsgA whereas CsgB nucleates CsgA subunits into curli fibers (Figure 2; Chapman et al., 2002; Barnhart and Chapman, 2006).”
• Amyloid fibers provide structural integrity to Bacillus subtilis biofilms (2010, background): “Different amyloids have been shown to repolymerize in vitro from soluble monomers into fibers (32).”
• Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPSs) in Ocean Systems (2017, background): “While amyloid formation has been linked to many human disease processes (Barnhart and Chapman, 2006; van Gerven et al., 2015), they occur in natural microbial systems as a component of EPS.”
