Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
The supplied review scaffold identifies curli among the strongest explicitly supported component names and describes curli as a functional amyloid biofilm matrix component; it also notes that the anchor review covers proteinaceous biofilm components such as amyloids.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
Curli is presented as a functional amyloid component of bacterial biofilms within the review's broader bacterial biopolymer scope. The supplied scaffold explicitly identifies it as a proteinaceous matrix component.; functional amyloid studies; biofilm matrix studies; pathogenesis-related polymer comparisons
