The paper discovers that wild-type curli nanofibers have intrinsic antifungal activity and shows that fusing them with heliomicin enhances this activity against Candida albicans.

This paper introduces a platform for creating de novo autogenic engineered living materials using CsgA-like proteins from extremophilic bacteria, demonstrating tunable mechanical properties and programmable functionalities.

The paper designs CsgA variants with altered β-strand lengths to explore structural plasticity in microbial β-solenoids, revealing how strand length affects nanofiber stability and material properties.
