Fig. 3: In vitro-assembled P pili also display lower stability compared to in vivo-assembled P pili.

From: The assembly platform FimD is required to obtain the most stable quaternary structure of type 1 pili

Fig. 3

a Representative NS-EM micrographs of in vitro (left) and in vivo (right) assembled P pili. A scale bar is shown on each micrograph. In total, 50 micrographs were analysed for each sample. b Kinetic stability measurements, comparing the stability of in vitro and in vivo-assembled P pili against dissociation/unfolding by GdmCl.
