Outer Membrane Proteins

  • Chapter
Pseudomonas

Part of the book series: Biotechnology Handbooks ((BTHA,volume 10))

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium and as such has an outer membrane. The general functions of the outer membrane include size-dependent exclusion of larger molecules, permitting selective permeability of smaller molecules, uptake of large and small polycations, specific facilitated uptake of certain substrates, export of excreted molecules including proteins, secondary metabolites and siderophores, maintenance of cell shape and growth in low osmolarity medium, binding of phages, bacteriocins, and pili during conjugation, serum resistance, and surface binding of antibodies and complement. Most of these functions have been described for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and result from the properties of outer membrane functions. It has been 5 years since the last review of the outer membrane proteins of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Hancock et al., 1990). Because of the vast amount of data available on this topic, we have concentrated on the information published since the previous review, but prior to the release of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa genomic sequence (http://www.pseudomonas.com).
