Dual function of OmpM as outer membrane tether and nutrient uptake channel in diderm Firmicutes

Abstract The outer membrane (OM) in diderm, or Gram-negative, bacteria must be tethered to peptidoglycan for mechanical stability and to maintain cell morphology. Most diderm phyla from the Terrabacteria group have recently been shown to lack well-characterised OM attachment systems, but instead hav...
