Cytoplasmic Transport: Bacteria Turn to Glass Unless Kicked

P.A. Janmey, F.C. MacKintosh

Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

Bacteria lack the cytoskeleton and motors of eukaryotic cells, and their cytoplasm has been considered to be purely fluid. New data show that bacterial cytoplasm can solidify to resemble a soft glass, unless enzymatic activity creates motions to fluidize it. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
