The article discusses bacterial cellulose has a widespread extracellular matrix component has modulate microbial fitness and virulence in both environmental settings and infected hosts. Topics include the structural and functional data uncover the mechanism of asymmetric secretion system assembly and periplasmic crown polymerization and reveal unexpected subunit stoichiometry, multisite; and the structural and functional data uncover the mechanism of asymmetric secretion system assembly.
