Ectopical expression of bacterial collagen-like protein supports its role as adhesin in host-parasite coevolution
B. Huessy, D. Bumann, D. Ebert
The paper demonstrates that a collagen-like protein (CLP) from Pasteuria ramosa functions as a genotype-specific adhesin in host-parasite interactions by expressing it in Bacillus thuringiensis.
