The OmpA outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli and other enterobacteria is a
multifaceted protein. This protein is expressed to very high levels and ompA is tightly …

The presence of microorganisms on material surfaces can have a profound effect on
materials performance. Surface-associated microbial growth, ie a biofilm, is known to …

The ability of Acinetobacter baumannii to adhere to and persist on surfaces as biofilms could
be central to its pathogenicity. The production of pili and a biofilm-associated protein and the …

Electrochemical biosensors possess numerous desirable qualities for target detection, such
as portability and ease of use, and are often considered for point-of-care (POC) …

At the cross-roads of nanoscience and microbiology, the nanoscale analysis of microbial
cells using atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an exciting, rapidly evolving research field …

Type IV pili play an important role in bacterial adhesion, motility, and biofilm formation. Here
we present high-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of type IV pili from …

Previously we discovered that OmpA of Escherichia coli increases biofilm formation on
polystyrene surfaces (González Barrios et al., Biotechnol Bioeng, 93: 188–200, 2006a) …

Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is purported to express outer membrane cytochromes (eg,
MtrC and OmcA) that transfer electrons directly to Fe (III) in a mineral during anaerobic …
