Excited to share our new preprint on the detailed investigation of Type 4 pili in epibiont oral Saccharibacteria! Led by @GrossmanMicrbio from our lab @ForsythResearch, and with @JunLiuLab (Yale), @JMcLean_UW (UW) and @he_xuesong . Check it out: https://t.co/IvgDbnG0jm
For the first time, scientists have performed targeted mutations on an episymbiosis-determining pathway. In a new study on Saccharibacteria, AFI researchers used advanced techniques to observe pili that drive motility and host attachment.
