UKRI BBSRC NEEDL NLD: Myco-membrane physics: Mechanical properties of a unique bacterial outer membrane

Bacteria are under pressure. A lot of pressure. In fact, the inside of bacteria is so densely packed with biomolecules that some species are under more than 30 atmospheres of pressure pushing outward! To prevent themselves from exploding, bacteria build a rigid structure around themselves called the cell envelope. Read more
