Characterization of a filamentous biofilm community established in a cellulose-fed microbial fuel cell.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The bacterial surface protein internalin (InlA) is a major virulence factor of the food-born pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. It plays a critical role in the bacteria crossing the host intestinal barrier by a species-specific interaction with the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin. In mice, the interaction of...
