Outer Membrane Vesicles of Bacteria

Outer Membrane Vesicles of Bacteria by S.N. Chatterjee, Keya Chaudhuri.

This book provides a detailed account of the physico-chemical properties and biological functions of the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) of different pathogenic and non-pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. It also includes an authentic record of the first systematic study that discovered the mechanism...
