Solving the mysteries of the bacterial cell – application of novel techniques in fluorescence microscopy

We have reviewed how the development of fluorescent markers, triggered by the discovery of green fluorescence protein and its other color variants leading to the establishment of methods for studies of protein interactions with application of fluorescent proteins, affected the view of bacterial cell...
