Advances in imaging technologies have revealed that many bacteria possess organelles
with a proteomically defined lumen and a macromolecular boundary. Some are bound by a …

Recent studies applying advanced imaging techniques are changing the way we
understand bacterial cell surfaces, bringing new knowledge on everything from single-cell …

It has been proposed that bacterial membrane proteins may be synthesized and inserted
into the membrane by a process known as transertion, which involves membrane …

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has emerged as a leading technique for three-

Plant pathogenic bacteria attack numerous agricultural crops, causing devastating effects on
plant productivity and yield. They survive in diverse environments, both in plants, as …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are utilized by both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms.
AMPs such as the human beta defensins, human neutrophil peptides, human cathelicidin …

Bacteria are always a considerable tool for the cancer therapy. The bacteria-derived
minicells are re-emerged as a promising drug delivery system for cancer therapy. The …

In the 1970s, phospholipids were still considered mere building blocks of the membrane
lipid bilayer, but the subsequent realization that phospholipids could also serve as second …

Only recently has it been recognized that the transcriptome of bacteria and archaea can be
spatiotemporally regulated. All types of prokaryotic transcripts—rRNAs, tRNAs, mRNAs, and …

Thylakoids are the place of the light-photosynthetic reactions. To gain maximal efficiency,
these reactions are conditional to proper pigment-pigment and protein-protein interactions …
