Despite the importance of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in benthic animal settlement,
the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here, the impact of OMVs and OMVs …

The Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most dreaded
pathogens in the hospital setting, and represents a prototype of multi-drug resistant …

Bacterial membrane vesicles (MVs) have attracted increasing attention due to their
significant roles in bacterial physiology and pathogenic processes. In this review, we provide …

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) synthesized by Komagataeibacter hansenii is a polymer that
recently gained an attention of tissue engineers, since its features make it a suitable material …

Two-component signaling systems (TCSs) are comprised of a sensory histidine kinase and
a response regulator protein. In response to environmental changes, sensor kinases directly …

Bacterial cell shape is a genetically encoded and inherited feature that is optimized for
efficient growth, survival, and propagation of bacteria. In addition, bacterial cell morphology …

Porphyromonas gingivalis utilises the Bacteroidetes-specific type IX secretion system
(T9SS) to export proteins across the outer membrane (OM), including virulence factors such …

Sporulation-related repeat (SPOR) domains are small peptidoglycan (PG) binding domains
found in thousands of bacterial proteins. The name “SPOR domain” stems from the fact that …

Bacterial two-component systems (TCSs) often function through the detection of an
extracytoplasmic stimulus and the transduction of a signal by a transmembrane sensory …

ABSTRACT The Tol-Pal system of Gram-negative bacteria helps maintain the integrity of the
cell envelope and ensures that invagination of the envelope layers during cell fission occurs …
