It has long been appreciated that the Gram-negative outer membrane acts as a permeability
barrier, but recent studies have uncovered a more expansive and versatile role for the outer …

Knowledge of the molecular ecology and environmental determinants of ammonia‐oxidizing
organisms is critical to understanding and predicting the global nitrogen (N) and carbon …

Most bacterial and all archaeal cells are encapsulated by a paracrystalline, protective, and
cell-shape-determining proteinaceous surface layer (S-layer). On Gram-negative bacteria, S …

Surface layers (S-layers) are proteinaceous, two-dimensional paracrystalline arrays that
constitute a major component of the cell envelope in many prokaryotic species. In this study …

Surface layers (S-layers) are two-dimensional, proteinaceous, porous lattices that form the
outermost cell envelope component of virtually all archaea and many bacteria. Despite …

Lactobacillus species dominance of the vaginal microbiome is a hallmark of vaginal health.
Pathogen displacement of vaginal lactobacilli drives innate immune activation and mucosal …

Many bacteria and most archaea possess a crystalline protein surface layer (S-layer), which
surrounds their growing and topologically complicated outer surface. Constructing a …

Surface layers (S-layers) are crystalline protein coats surrounding microbial cells. S-layer
proteins (SLPs) regulate their extracellular self-assembly by crystallizing when exposed to …

Caulobacter crescentus adapts to phosphate starvation by elongating its cell body and a
polar stalk structure. The stalk is an extension of the Gram-negative envelope containing …

It is the intention of this study to elucidate the nested formation of calcium carbonate
polymorphs or polyamorphs in the different nanosized compartments. With these …
