Among them, bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are of particular interest. Produced by Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, OMVs measure about 100 nanometers and contain proteins and ...

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) play a vital role in bacterial pathogenesis, serving as key mediators of interactions between Gram-negative bacteria and their hosts. However, the specific role of OMVs ...

We found a strong positive semi-log correlation between tachyplesin-NBD fluorescence and PI fluorescence (r 2 = 0.70, p-value < 0.0001): all bacteria exhibiting PI staining had a tachyplesin-NBD ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

Bacteria are ubiquitous microscopic organisms capable of rapid growth. While beneficial strains like lactic acid bacteria ...

Gram-negative bacteria possess an outer membrane that constitutes a formidable barrier to antibiotic penetration. This envelope, embedded with porins and other specialised channels, governs the ...

For bacteria, certain types “can form spores, which protect [them] in harsh environments,” Leung added. Think of spores like a tank, Tetro said.

Hybrid vesicles (HVs) that consist of mixtures of block copolymers and lipids are robust biomimetics of liposomes, providing a valuable building block in bionanotechnology, catalysis, and synthetic ...
