a A micrograph of mixed-culture biofilm. The secreted CsgA amyloid fibres allow the E. coli cells to collect to adhere to the surface. b M.g mussel and foot proteins distribution by number. MFP1 is already present in the outer layer as a lateral cover. MFP3 (s), MFP3 (f) and MFP5 (s) are shown at the plaque-substratum interface. The presence of MFP3 in both the substrate and the underlying layer considered it a good indicator to analyze its structure. b A suture with a bio-adhesive character on the gastric duodenum. The proteinous bio-adhesive construction, while making the connection between two sections, can maintain its biocompatible activity under the acidic conditions of the lumen
