The DNA-binding protein HU is a molecular glue that attaches bacteria to extracellular DNA in biofilms

In biofilms, bacteria that possess a negatively charged surface are embedded within a matrix of polymers consisting mainly of negatively charged extracellular DNA (e-DNA). In all likelihood, a multivalent positively charged substance, for example, a basic protein, exists within biofilms to neutraliz...
