Abstract excerpt
Bacteroides spp. are gram-negative, gut commensals that shape the enteric landscape by producing outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that degrade dietary fibers and traffic immunomodulatory biomolecules. Understanding the mechanism behind OMV biogenesis in Bacteroides spp. is necessary to determine their role in the gut. Recent studies showed that mutation of dual membrane-spanning anti-sigma factor 1 (Dma1) increased...
