Structure and mutagenic analysis of the lipid II flippase MurJ from Escherichia coli.

Structure and mutagenic analysis of the lipid II flippase MurJ from Escherichia coli.

The peptidoglycan cell wall supplies a vital protecting barrier in nearly all micro organism, defining mobile morphology and conferring resistance to osmotic stress and different environmental hazards. The precursor to peptidoglycan, lipid II, is assembled on the internal leaflet of the plasma membrane. However, peptidoglycan polymerization happens on the outer face of the plasma membrane, […]

Genetic manipulation of structural color in bacterial colonies.

Genetic manipulation of structural color in bacterial colonies.

Naturally occurring photonic constructions are accountable for the sensible and vivid coloration in a wide array of dwelling organisms. Despite efforts to know their natural options, progress, and complex optical response, little is assumed of the underlying genes involved in the occasion of these nanostructures in any space of life. Here, we used Flavobacterium colonies as
