Curli produced by Escherichia coli PHL628 provide protection from Hg(II).

Gabriela Hidalgo1, Xincai Chen, Anthony G Hay, Leonard W Lion.   

Abstract

The role of curli, amyloid extracellular fibers, in the tolerance of Escherichia coli PHL628 to Hg(II) was examined. Our findings indicate that by sorbing Hg(II) extracellularly, curli protect the cells. To our knowledge, this is the first time a protective role of curli against toxic metals has been demonstrated.
