A Cyanobacterial Component Required for Pilus Biogenesis Affects the Exoproteome

Abstract

Cyanobacteria, environmentally prevalent photosynthetic prokaryotes, contribute ∼25% of global primary production. Cyanobacterial biofilms elicit biofouling, thus leading to substantial economic losses; however, these microbial assemblages can also be beneficial, e.g., in wastewater purification processes and for biofuel production.
