Congo Red Interactions with Curli-Producing E. coli and Native Curli Amyloid Fibers.

Congo Red Interactions with Curli-Producing E. coli and Native Curli Amyloid Fibers.

Microorganisms produce functional amyloids that can be examined and manipulated in vivo and in vitro. Escherichia coli assemble extracellular adhesive amyloid fibers termed curli that mediate adhesion and promote biofilm formation. We have characterized the dye binding properties of the hallmark amy...
