The superficial protein arrays on bacteria

S F Koval et al. Microbiol Sci. 1986 Dec.

Abstract

In nature, many bacteria possess a surface layer of regularly-structured protein subunits which is probably essential for survival in many ecological niches. These paracrystalline layers perform a variety of functions among the diverse groups of bacteria in which these superficial arrays have been detected.
