DOI: 10.1002/bab.2390
Abstract: The bacterium Caulobacter crescentus secretes an adhesive polysaccharide called holdfast, which is the known strongest underwater adhesive in nature. The deacetylase encoded by hfs (holdfast synthesis) H gene is a key factor affecting the adhesion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/pala.12485
Abstract: A macroalgal holdfast (rootâlike structure) anchored or grown into sediments is a key trait of metaphytes and eukaryotic algae. Various patterns and taphonomic variants of congeneric holdfasts are preserved on the bedding planes of black… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jb.00273-22
Abstract: For surface attachment and biofilm formation, bacteria produce adhesins that are composed of polysaccharides, proteins, and DNA. Species of the Caulobacterales produce a specialized polar adhesin, holdfast, which is required for permanent attachment to surfaces.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jb.00597-17
Abstract: ABSTRACT Attachment is essential for microorganisms to establish interactions with both biotic and abiotic surfaces. Stable attachment of Caulobacter crescentus to surfaces requires an adhesive polysaccharide holdfast, but the exact composition of the holdfast is… read more here.
