microcolony การใช้

• These fibrils also anchor the bacteria to each other, helping to form a microcolony.
• However, the microcolony formation can be specifically induced in the presence of predators by cell-cell communication ( quorum sensing ).
• The type IV pilus in " N . gonorrhoeae " adhesive properties also play a role in microcolony aggregation and biofilm formation.
• Bacteria growing in natural ecosystems, such as in soil, bovine intestines, or the human urinary tract, is surrounded by some sort of glycocalyx-enclosed microcolony.
• Some functions of the type IV pili include : mediating attachment to various cells and tissues, twitching motility, natural competence, microcolony formation, extensive intrastrain phase, and antigenic variation.
