A novel mechanism for the biogenesis of outer membrane vesicles in Gram-negative bacteria

Bacteria release outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that play important roles in pathogenesis and intercellular interactions. Here, Roier et al. provide evidence supporting that phospholipid accumulation in the outer leaflet of the outer membrane participates in OMV formation in Gram-negative bacteria.
