| Abstract: | Filamentous bacteria produce aerial structures to allow spores to be dispersed. A new class of secreted, surface-active proteins called chaplins has been identified in Streptomyces coelicolor. Chaplins form unusual amyloid-like fibrils and act cooperatively to bring about aerial development. |
