Effective healing and regeneration of various bone defects is still a major challenge and
concern in modern medicine. Calcium phosphates have emerged as extensively studied …

The role of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by the heavy metal-resistant
strain of Azotobacter spp. in restricting the uptake of cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr) by …

A model of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria was created by the deposition of
a monolayer of purified rough mutant lipopolysaccharides at an air/water interface. The …

Biological membrane function, in part, depends upon the local regulation of lipid
composition. The spatial heterogeneity of membrane lipids has been extensively explored in …

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are a main constituent of the outer membrane of Gram-negative
bacteria. Salmonella enterica, like many other bacterial species, are able to chemically …

The architecture of the lipid matrix of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is
extremely asymmetric: Whereas the inner leaflet is composed of a phospholipid mixture, the …

We report x-ray reflectivity and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction measurements of
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) monolayers at the water-air interface. Our investigations reveal …

Actinomycetes of the genus Rhodococcus (class Actinomycetia) are dominant dwellers of
biotopes with anthropogenic load. They serve as a natural system of primary response to …

Nanosecond single-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been used to
discriminate between two different genera of Gram-negative bacteria and between several …

The high proportion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules in the outer membrane of Gram-
negative bacteria makes it a highly effective barrier to small molecules, antibiotic drugs, and …
