Journal ArticleDOI
S-Layer Proteins
Margit Sára,Uwe B. Sleytr +1 more
TL;DR: Cell walls are an important structural component of prokaryotic organisms and essential for many aspects of their life, and the diverse structures of the outermost boundary layers strongly reflect adaptations to specific ecological and environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermotoga maritima sp. nov. represents a new genus of unique extremely thermophilic eubacteria growing up to 90°C
Robert Huber,Thomas A. Langworthy,Helmut König,Michael Thomm,Carl R. Woese,Uwe B. Sleytr,Karl O. Stetter +6 more
TL;DR: A novel type of bacterium has been isolated from various geothermally heated locales on the sea floor with a unique sheath-like structure and monotrichous flagellation that clearly belong to the eubacteria, although no close relationship to any known group could be detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystalline surface layers on bacteria
Uwe B. Sleytr,Paul Messner +1 more
TL;DR: Pore Size, Protective Functions, and Other Protective Functions 332 MorphogE'netic Functions 332: Functions Depending on Pore Size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial S-layers.
Uwe B. Sleytr,Terry J. Beveridge +1 more
TL;DR: S-layers are produced by the self assembly of proteinaceous subunits on the surfaces of prokaryotes, so that planar, monomolecular-thick crystalline lattices are formed.
Book ChapterDOI
Crystalline bacterial cell-surface layers.
Paul Messner,Uwe B. Sleytr +1 more
TL;DR: Thecrystalline arrays of proteinaceous subunits forming surface layers reveal a broad-application potential in biotechnology, vaccine development and molecular nanotechnology.
