Curli functional amyloid systems are phylogenetically widespread and display large diversity in operon and protein structure.
Escherichia coli and a few other members of the Enterobacteriales can produce functional amyloids known as curli. These extracellular fibrils are involved in biofilm formation and studies have shown that they may act as virulence factors during infections. It is not known whether curli fibrils are r...
