    1. Introduction

    Microbial adhesion is the initial step in colonization and theformation of a biolman accumulated biomass of microorgan-isms and extracellular materials on a solid surface. Biolms can bedetrimental to both human life and industrial processes, causinginfection associated with medical implants [1], pathogen inter-action with host cells [2,3], periodontitis or dental caries [4,5],contamination of food from processing equipment [6,7], enhance-ment of metal corrosion [8], formation of marine biolms on shipshulls [9], and so on. However, microbial adhesion can be also bene-cial, for example, in the degradation of environmental hazardouschemicals in soil [10,11] or in bioreactors forwastewater treatment[12] or off-gas treatment [13], in agricultural uses of root nodulebacteria in the rhizosphere [14], in the degradation of biopoly-mers such as cellulose [15], and in bioocculants used for theseparation of coal particles [16]. Therefore, there are two oppositegoals for the control of microbial adhesion and biolm formation:one is the ptheir enhantechnologiecontrolmicelucidationnecessary.

    shown that S. epidermidis can adhere to surfaces coated by aconditioning lm containing extracellular matrix proteins suchas brinogen or bronectin [95]. Following the adhesion to thesurface, polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) mediates theintercellular adhesion essential for accumulation of multilayeredS. epidermidis biolms [96,97]. The major PIA is a homoglycancomposed of at least 130 -1,6-linked N-acetylated and non-N-acetylated glucosaminyl residues and ones with positive charge[98]. PIA is synthesized by the icaADBC locus encoding the PIA syn-thesis apparatus [99]. Inactivation of the icaADBC locus by Tn917insertion led to a biolm- and PIA-negative phenotype of S. epider-midis [100].

    3.2. Bacterial nanobers

    Manykinds of bacteria havelamentous cell appendages,whichare several to tens nanometers in diameter and hundreds to thou-sands of nanometers in length, such as agella and pili. Thesebacterial nanobers have been shown to function as adhesin.Some bacterial nanobers mediate cell adhesion to abiotic surfacesand are involved in biolm formation. Others specically bind tobiomolecules on host cells and/or extracellular matrices (ECMs),such as collagen and bronectin, and are involved in pathogenicinfection.

    hosts [101]. Type IV pili extend from the poles of a bacterial cell andmediate the movement of bacteria over surfaces without the useof agella. These movements are known as social gliding in Myx-ococcus xanthus and twitching in organisms such as P. aeruginosaand Neisseria gonorrhoeae [102]. In fact, twitching motility of cellswas visualized by direct observation of extension, xation to a sur-face at the distal end, and retraction of type IV pili in P. aeruginosaunder a uorescencemicroscope [103]. These surfacemotilities arethought to contribute to enlargement and development of micro-colonies and biolms. Prepilin, a precursor of major pilin of typeIV pili, is secreted through the inner membrane (IM) by the Sec-dependent pathway, and thereafter it is processed into a maturepilin by peptidase localized at the IM. The mature pilin subunits areassembled by the IM assembly complex towards the OM throughthe periplasm [3]. The assembled pili are translocated across theOM by a system related to the type II protein secretion system,where a multimeric OM protein forms a gated pore [3,101,104].

    Type 1 pili and P pili are also well-known adhesive mbriae,which are present on Gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli andSalmonella species. These types of pili are also composed of majorpilin assembled into a nanober but are peritrichate unlike polartype IV pili. It has never been reported that these peritrichate piliare responsible for twitching motility. They are important viru-lence factors of pathogens for adhesion to host cells. They aresecreted and assembled by the chaperone-usher pathway, inwhichaperiplasmic chaperoneandanOMassemblyplatform, the usher,are required (Fig. 3A) [3,105107].
