pilus assembly https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/14579 The assembly from its constituent parts of a pilus, a short filamentous structure of bacterial cell, flagella-like in structure and generally present in many copies. Pili are variously involved in transfer of nucleic acids, adherence to surfaces, and formation of pellicles. Is required for bacterial conjugation, or can play a role in adherence to surfaces (when it is called a fimbrium), and in the formation of pellicles. fimbriae biogenesis biological_process fimbria assembly GO:0009297 fimbrium assembly fimbriae assembly fimbrial assembly pilus formation fimbrium biogenesis fimbria biogenesis pilus biogenesis cell projection assembly pilus organization
