  • B. thuringiensis spores contain uncharacterized protein filaments that extend from the surface of the exosporium. Here, the authors show that these filaments feature conserved β-barrel neck domains and promote spore clustering through protein contacts and filament bundling, and reveal a mechanism for biofilm-like spore aggregation.

  • AFM is used to show that curli, the functional amyloid fibrils generated by bacteria, form by polar growth from a one-step nucleation of monomers into minimal fibril units without transitioning through an intermediate, non-amyloid oligomeric state.

  • Past studies on protein nucleation have focused on the routes that molecules follow towards a crystalline cluster, while possible interactions that may occur between nuclei have not been investigated. Here, the authors show that in the high supersaturation limit such interactions dominate the nucleation process in the form of inter-nucleus docking driving by oriented attachment.

  • Filamentous cable bacteria conduct electrical currents over centimeter distances through fibers embedded in their cell envelope. Here, Boschker et al. show that the fibers consist of a conductive core containing nickel proteins that is surrounded by an insulating protein shell.
