Tunnels, bridges, and ferries: How bacteria move lipids between membranes: a QBI online seminar with Damian Ekiert

Friday, July 17, 2020 - 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm

The QBI Online Seminar Series presents a seminar with Damian Ekiert, assistant professor for cell biology and microbiology at the NYU School of Medicine. Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by two lipid membranes, creating a formidable barrier against the outside world. Maintaining the outer membrane poses many challenges, such as a large aqueous gap (periplasm) separating the inner and outer membranes and a lack of ATP/energy in the periplasm to do work.
