It is now well appreciated that bacterial cells are highly organized, which is far from the initial
concept that they are merely bags of randomly distributed macromolecules and chemicals …

Much of what we know about cytokinesis in bacteria has come from studies with Escherichia
coli, and efforts to comprehensively understand this fundamental process in this organism …

All Gram-negative bacteria studied to date have been shown to produce outer membrane
vesicles (OMVs), which are budded, released spheres of outer membrane with periplasmic …

Gram-negative bacterium-released outer-membrane vesicles (OMVs) and Gram-positive
bacterium-released membrane vesicles (MVs) share significant similarities with mammalian …

In the 1960s several groups reported the isolation and preliminary genetic mapping of
Escherichia coli strains tol erant towards the action of colicins. These pioneering studies kick …

Bacteria differ in number and location of their flagella that appear in regular patterns at the
cell surface (flagellation pattern). Despite the plethora of bacterial species, only a handful of …

The outer membrane of Gram‐negative bacteria is a crucial permeability barrier allowing the
cells to survive a myriad of toxic compounds, including many antibiotics. This innate form of …

Cytokinesis in Gram‐negative bacteria is mediated by a multiprotein machine (the divisome)
that invaginates and remodels the inner membrane, peptidoglycan and outer membrane …

In bird flocks, fish schools, and many other living organisms, regrouping among individuals
of the same kin is frequently an advantageous strategy to survive, forage, and face …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are valued for their unique, convenient, and amendable
functions. They are flexible, controllable nanoparticles, which can be modified in different …
