Biofilm Matrix and Its Regulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Flagella mediate swimming and swarming motility of P. aeruginosa. It can also act as an adhesin and play critical roles in the initial cell-to-surface interactions [60]. T4P is a linear actuator critical for twitching motility that involves an extension-grip-retraction mechanism [61]. T4P plays important roles in microcolony formation of P. aeruginosa biofilms by forming typical mushroom caps [60]. As mentioned above, T4P-driven bacterial motilities can help to form Psl fiber matrix [25]. Another group, however, drew the conclusion that flagella and pili are not required for the initial attachment or biofilm formation [62], indicating that flagella- and pili-mediated biofilm formation could be conditional and nutritional. Recently, another newly identified adhesin named CdrA was demonstrated to be a key protein functioning as a structural component of P. aeruginosa EPS matrix [63]. This adhesin could directly interact with Psl polysaccharide to mediate bacterial auto-aggregation and increase
biofilm stability.

Copio del Merriam-Webster Online:

cap

a : an overlying rock layer that is usually hard to penetrate
b (1) : pileus (2) : calyptra
(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cap)

pileus

2: the convex, concave, or flattened spore-bearing structure of some basidiomycetes that is attached superiorly to the stem and typically is expanded with gills or pores on the underside —called also cap
(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pileus)

Copio del Diccionario de la Real Academia Española:

sombrero
(...)
6. m. Bot. Sombrerillo de los hongos
(http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=sombrero)

[La acepción botánica de "pileo" no figura en el DRAE.]

Por una vez me parece pertinente citar Wikipedia, en inglés y en castellano:

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Píleo_(micología)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pileus_(mycology)

Los términos cap y sombrero pertenecen al vocabulario común, mientras que pileus y píleao son cultismos.

Ahora bien, en tu texto no hablan de hongos, sino de biopelículas de Pseudomonas aureginosa. Se me ocurre que las microcolonias bacterianas deben tener una estructura en forma de hongo.

Saludos cordiales.
