vesicles composition heterogeneity budding affects

Research gap analysis derived from 2 biology papers in our local library.

The gap

The LPS quantification used the Purpald assay to measure KDO content in OMV, IM, and OM fractions, but the paper did not investigate how lipopolysaccharide composition or structural heterogeneity affects the efficiency of OMV budding in relation to periplasmic hydrostatic pressure and peptidoglycan degradation.; There is heterogeneity in extracellular vesicles composition and biogenesis that requires further characterization and understanding.

Research trend
