This study determines the structural and mechanistic basis of FapB amyloid assembly in Pseudomonas, showing it forms cross-β-solenoid fibrils and interacts with FapC fibrils.

This study uses ultrahigh-field solid-state NMR to characterize the molecular structure of Mycobacterium abscessus cell envelopes under near-native conditions.

This study investigates how the Pseudomonas functional amyloid FapC controls fibrillation through its oligomeric state, hierarchical architecture, and C-terminal region.

This study determines the structural basis of FapC biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa using integrative structural biology methods.

This study uses magnetic resonance techniques to show how biofilm structure influences radical stability and bacterial resistance by regulating molecular transport and reactivity.

This study uses DNP-enhanced ssNMR to rapidly characterize native bacterial biofilms without labeling, identifying polysaccharides, proteins, and eDNA.

This study uses high-resolution 2D solid-state NMR to analyze native nontuberculous mycobacteria, identifying cell-wall chemical sites and structural differences between strains.

This study uses high-resolution 1D and 2D MAS ssNMR to characterize native Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms without isotope labeling, identifying chemical sites and distinguishing protein and polysaccharide components.
