Proteomic Profiling Reveals Distinct Bacterial Extracellular Vesicle Subpopulations with Possibly Unique Functionality.

Journal Article Appl Environ Microbiol · January 31, 2023 Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are 20- to 200-nm secreted packages of lipids, small molecules, and proteins that contribute to diverse bacterial processes. In plant systems, OMVs from pathogenic and beneficial strains elicit plant immune response ... Full text Link to item Cite

The extracellular vesicle generation paradox: a bacterial point of view.

Journal Article EMBO J · November 2, 2021 All bacteria produce secreted vesicles that carry out a variety of important biological functions. These extracellular vesicles can improve adaptation and survival by relieving bacterial stress and eliminating toxic compounds, as well as by facilitating me ... Full text Link to item Cite

Microbial vesicle-mediated communication: convergence to understand interactions within and between domains of life.

Journal Article Environ Sci Process Impacts · May 26, 2021 All cells produce extracellular vesicles (EVs). These biological packages contain complex mixtures of molecular cargo and have a variety of functions, including interkingdom communication. Recent discoveries highlight the roles microbial EVs may play in th ... Full text Link to item Cite

Protective plant immune responses are elicited by bacterial outer membrane vesicles.

Journal Article Cell Rep · January 19, 2021 Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) perform a variety of functions in bacterial survival and virulence. In mammalian systems, OMVs activate immune responses and are exploited as vaccines. However, little work has focused on the interactions of OMVs wi ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite
