DNA-uptake pili of Vibrio cholerae are required for chitin colonisation and capable of kin recognition via sequence-specific self-interaction

How bacteria colonise surfaces and how they distinguish the individuals around them are fundamental biological questions. Type IV pili are a widespread and multi-purpose class of cell surface polymers. Here we directly visualise the DNA-uptake pilus of Vibrio cholerae, which is produced specifically...
