The peptidoglycan wall (PG) is a unique structure which confers physical strength and
defined shape to bacteria. It consists of a net-like macromolecule of peptide interlinked …

The bacterial membrane exhibits a significantly heterogeneous distribution of lipids and
proteins. This heterogeneity results mainly from lipid–lipid, protein–protein, and lipid–protein …

Bacterial membrane and nucleoids were stained concurrently by the lipophilic styryl dye FM
4‐64 [N‐(3‐triethylammoniumpropyl)‐4‐(6‐(4‐(diethylamino) phenyl) hexatrienyl) …

Scorpion venoms have proven to be excellent sources of antimicrobial agents. However,
although many of them have been functionally characterized, they remain underutilized as …

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the glycolipid of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria,
is critically involved in health and diseases. LPS facilitates the survival of pathogens by …

The influence of the carbon source on cell wall properties was analyzed in an efficient
alkane-degrading strain of Rhodococcus erythropolis (strain E1), with particular focus on the …

Anionic (ie., acidic) phospholipids such as phosphotidylglycerol (PG) and cardiolipin (CL),
participate in several cellular functions. Here we review intriguing in vitro and in vivo …

Exploration of the molecular structure of the bacterial cell envelope informs our
understanding of its role in bacterial growth. This is crucial for research into both inhibiting …

PgpB belongs to the lipid phosphate phosphatase protein family and is one of three
bacterial integral membrane phosphatases catalyzing dephosphorylation of …

This paper describes a study of the phospholipid profile of Escherichia coli MG1655 cultures
at the B and D periods of the cell cycle. The results indicate that the phosphatidyl glycerol …
