Bacterial microcompartments: catalysis-enhancing metabolic modules for next generation metabolic and biomedical engineering

Abstract Bacterial cells have long been thought to be simple cells with little spatial organization, but recent research has shown that they exhibit a remarkable degree of subcellular differentiation. Indeed, bacteria even have organelles such as magnetosomes for sensing magnetic fields or gas vesic...
