Recent studies have shown that bacterial membrane potential is dynamic and plays
signaling roles. Yet, little is still known about the mechanisms of membrane potential …

As an important free energy source, the membrane voltage (Vm) regulates many essential
physiological processes in bacteria. However, in comparison with eukaryotic cells …

Photodynamic inhibition (PDI) of bacteria represents a powerful strategy for dealing with
multidrug-resistant pathogens and infections, as it exhibits minimal development of antibiotic …

The biological functions of the cell membrane are regulated by its physicochemical
properties, such as the transmembrane potential, phase state and hydration. Therefore, the …

engineering, highlighting interdisciplinary research that employs material science to study …

Membrane potential is a useful marker for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) due to its
fundamental roles in cell function. However, the difficulties associated with measuring the …

Transmembrane electrochemical gradients drive solute uptake and constitute a substantial
fraction of the cellular energy pool in bacteria. These gradients act not only as" homeostatic …

In this work, I studied a photoactive molecule capable to partition in the lipid membrane of
bacteria and acting as a visible light-modulated antibacterial system. This system has the …
