      Ozkan A.D.; Topal, A. E.; Dana, A.; Güler, Mustafa O.; Tekinay, A. B. (Elsevier, 2016-10)
      The present review details the methods used for the measurement of cells and their exudates using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and outlines the general conclusions drawn by the mechanical characterization of biological ...

    • Bacteria-immobilized electrospun fibrous polymeric webs for hexavalent chromium remediation in water 

      Sarioglu, O.F.; Celebioglu A.; Tekinay, T.; Uyar, Tamer (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016)
      The development of hexavalent chromium remediating fibrous biocomposite mats through the immobilization of a hexavalent chromium reducing bacterial strain, Morganella morganiiSTB5, on the surfaces of electrospun polystyrene ...

S.; Stoorvogel, W.; Stukelj, R.; Grein V. D. S.G.; Helena,ü V. M.; Wauben, M. H. M.; De Wever, O. (Taylor & Francis, 2015)
      In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recognized as potent vehicles of intercellular communication, both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This is due to their capacity to transfer proteins, lipids and ...

    • Glycosylation: a tool for engineering protein based materials 

      Işılak, Musa Efe (Bilkent University, 2019-09)
      Biofilms are bacterial communities formed by adhesion of cells to each other via extracellular matrix. Proteins, one of the components of biofilm matrix, can form fibers and have properties enabling their use as materials. ...

    • Monitoring molecular assembly of biofilms using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation 

      Yuca, E.; Şeker, Urartu Özgür Şafak (Springer, 2022)
      The structure and the functionality of biofilm proteins, the main components of the extracellular matrix, can be tuned by protein engineering. The use of binding kinetics data has been demonstrated in the characterization ...

    • The role of bcsE gene in the pathogenicity of Salmonella 

      Özdemir, Caner; Akçelik, N.; Özdemir, F. N.; Evcili, İrem; Kahraman, Tamer; Gürsel, İhsan; Akçelik, M. (Oxford University Press, 2021-07-19)
      The effects of the bcsE gene and BcsE protein on bacterial physiology and pathogenicity in SalmonellaTyphimurium and Salmonella Group C1 were investigated. It was observed that biofilm and pellicle formation did not occur ...

    • Synthetic biogenesis of bacterial amyloid nanomaterials with tunable inorganic-organic interfaces and electrical conductivity 

      Seker U.O.S.; Chen, A. Y.; Citorik, R. J.; Lu, T. K. (American Chemical Society, 2017)
      Amyloids are highly ordered, hierarchal protein nanoassemblies. Functional amyloids in bacterial biofilms, such as Escherichia coli curli fibers, are formed by the polymerization of monomeric proteins secreted into the ...

    • A synthetic biology approach for engineered functional biofilm 

      Kalyoncu, Ebuzer (Bilkent University, 2017-12)
      Extracellular polymeric substances consist of molecules, DNAs, carbohydrates, and proteins that are secreted by microbial biofilms. These molecules assist in the synthesis of bacterial biofilms as highly ordered, complex ...
