Low molecular weight Alkaline Phosphatase
• Identification of a second xcp-like gene cluster involved in type II secretion
• Hxc system is specifically involved in secretion of low molecular weight alkaline phosphatases
• Expression of the hxc gene cluster appeared to be coregulated with lap genes expression

Bundled pili( electron microscopy)
- Gram-negative cocobacillus, agent of the juvenil periodontal disease
- Produces long fibrils of bundled pili responsible for non-specific adherence and autoaggregation
- Forms a tenacious biofilm on teeth
- Structural subunit of bundled pili is encoding by flp-1 gene. tad genes cluster encodes the assembly machinery of Flp pili
- Flp-1 is a member of the type IVB pilus sub-familly
