A Bilayer-Couple Model of Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicle Biogenesis

mBio, 2012
Gram-negative bacteria naturally produce outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that arise through bulging and pinching off of the outer membrane. OMVs have several biological functions for bacteria, most notably as trafficking vehicles for toxins ...

Redox linked flavin sites in extracellular decaheme proteins involved in microbe-mineral electron transfer [PDF]

, 2015
Extracellular microbe-mineral electron transfer is a major driving force for the oxidation of organic carbon in many subsurface environments. Extracellular multi-heme cytochromes of the Shewenella genus play a major role in this process but the mechanism

Biophysical characterization of the outer membrane polysaccharide export protein and the polysaccharide co-polymerase protein from Xanthomonas campestris [PDF]

, 2014
This study investigated the structural and biophysical characteristics of GumB and GumC, two Xanthomonas campestris membrane proteins that are involved in xanthan biosynthesis. Xanthan is an exopolysaccharide that is thought to be a virulence factor that

Efficient Self‐Cleaning and Anti‐Bacterial Behavior Realized by Hierarchical Structure in Hybrid Waterborne Polyurethane Coatings Containing Photocatalyst

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Hybrid WPU coatings with a hierarchical structure are constructed by first directional freezing polymerization of degradable hydrogels with a vertical channel structure and then filling these channels with aqueous WPU solution containing carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) nanosheets.

Epoxytiglianes potentiate the activity of colistin against resistant Escherichia coli via modification of the bacterial cell membrane

mBio
The unrestricted use of colistin in animal husbandry has led to the emergence of mobile plasmid-borne colistin resistance (mcr). The antimicrobial epoxytigliane, EBC-1013, has been shown to be effective in the topical treatment of biofilm-mediated ...

The antimicrobial activity of oil-in-water microemulsions is predicted by their position within the microemulsion stability zone [PDF]

, 2012
It has been shown previously that thermodynamically stable oil-in-water microemulsions have significant antimicrobial activity against planktonic cells and biofilm cells over short periods of exposure. It was the aim of this study to identify whether the
