Electron Microscopy investigation of bacterial outer membrane vesicles
EMSL Project ID
10892
Abstract
As per conversation with Alice Dohnalkova, we wish to investigate the morphology of bacterial outer membrane vesicles and wildtype and mutant bacteria that produce various quantities of them. The bacteria and vesicles will be imaged by SEM and TEM to understand the membrane topology and cellular structures that lead to membrane vesicle generation.
