Complete structure of the chemosensory array core signalling unit in an E. coli minicell strain

Motile bacteria sense chemical gradients with transmembrane receptors organised in supramolecular signalling arrays. Here authors introduce an E. coli strain that forms small minicells possessing extended and highly ordered chemosensory arrays that are visualized by cryo-electron tomography.
