A polysaccharide deacetylase enhances bacterial adhesion in high-ionic-strength environments

Summary: Differences in ionic strength, pH, temperature, shear forces, and other environmental factors impact adhesion, and organisms have evolved various strategies to optimize their adhesins for their specific environmental conditions. Many species of Alphaproteobacteria, including members of the...
