Abstract excerpt
Gram-negative bacterial cell envelope is made up of an outer membrane (OM), an inner membrane (IM) that surrounds the cytoplasm, and a periplasmic space between the two membranes containing peptidoglycan (PG or murein). PG is an elastic polymer that forms a mesh-like sacculus around the IM protecting cells from turgor and environmental stress conditions. In several bacteria including E. coli , the OM is tethered...
