Functional amyloids in Pseudomonas aeruginosa may be involved in the sequestration of the quorum sensing molecules HHQ and PQS under high shear conditions. by Sia, Wan Rong.

“…Results from the investigations revealed that Fap binds to QS molecules at high affinities and was able to retain them under high shear force. Therefore, we propose that Fap has a functional role in sequestering QS molecules under high shear conditions.…”
