Abstract excerpt
The ability of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus to relocalize the OmpF major outer membrane porins from its Escherichia coli prey to its own outer membranes is diminished in prey expressing smooth lipopolysaccharide (S-LPS). Since porins exist in the membrane complexed with LPS, we examined the LPS associated with relocalized porin to determine whether it had been acquired intact, mixed or replaced with Bdellovibrio...
