Function
Involved in biofilm formation. Self-polymerizes and forms a layer on the surface of biofilms that confers hydrophobicity to the biofilm. The layer is stable and capable of resistance to high mechanical force compression.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted; Secreted, cell wall
Product Specifications
