This study investigates how the composition and interaction of curli fibers and pEtN-cellulose in E. coli biofilms influence their mechanical properties and structure.

This study shows that charged agar surfaces alter E. coli biofilm properties by influencing curli amyloid quantity and quality, affecting structure and stability.

This study compares the mechanical properties of E. coli biofilms with altered matrix composition using shear-rheology and microindentation, showing the role of curli fibers and pEtN-cellulose in stiffness and structure.

This study shows light-controlled endocytosis of biomolecular condensates in giant vesicles using photoswitchable lipids, demonstrating reversible and tunable membrane-condensate interactions.

This study shows that nutrient availability affects E. coli biofilm stiffness and curli amyloid fiber structure and stability.
