In simple terms, a bacterium like E. coli can change its outer membrane protein coat in just two generations. Professor Kleanthous and Dr Baumann believe that their ongoing collaborative work, ...

Scientists at the University of Missouri (MU), who report that they used a new approach to discover how proteins leave the inside of an E. coli cell, say their finding could have important ...

Scientists have identified a new type of protein in bacteria that could change our understanding of how these organisms ...

The designed proteins block hemoglobin from binding ChuA, an outer membrane bacterial protein, helping to inhibit E. coli's growth.

Scientists have identified a new type of protein in bacteria that could change our understanding of how these organisms interact with their environments.

The pores could also be outer-membrane protein complexes located on the bacteria surface, but the measured pore diameter of 34.7 nm ± 11.8 nm (1 nm = 1 x 10-9 m) is significantly larger than ...

E. coli adapt to survive sudden starvation. ... The Tol-Pal system is a critical cellular machinery composed of proteins that connect the outer membrane to the inner membrane.

In Escherichia coli (E. coli), for example, the OmpF channel (porin) provides a translocation pathway for small molecules, water, and ions inward and outward through the outer membrane.

Study: Impact of Escherichia coli Outer Membrane Vesicles on Sperm Function. Image Credit: SciePro / Shutterstock.com. Introduction. Most MRTIs are caused by bacteria including Staphylococcus ...

It will also provide a foundation for further studies into the biogenesis of outer membrane vesicle (OMV) under various naturally occurring conditions," Hakami said. Hakami received $25,000 from ...
