Lipopolysaccharide Architecture Dictates Susceptibility to Predation by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.
Predatory bacteria such as Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus exert strong top-down control on Gram-negative bacterial populations, yet the prey surface determinants governing susceptibility to predation remain incompletely resolved. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a dominant structural component of the Gram-negative outer membran...
