Many bacteria can form a dense matrix known as biofilm that helps them attach to surfaces and offers protection, aiding their survival. A key structural component of biofilm are amyloid fibrils, protein aggregates comprised of thousands of protein molecul

许多细菌可以形成一种称为生物膜的致密基质，帮助它们附着在表面并提供保护，帮助它们生存。生物膜的一个关键结构成分是淀粉样纤维，即由数千个蛋白质分子组成的蛋白质聚集体。
