pubmed-article:2856309 | pubmed:abstractText | The predatory bdellovibrios acquire all their growth requirements by preying upon other Gram-negative bacteria. They reutilize biosynthetic monomers, remanufacture the prey's lipopolysaccharide, and relocalize specific outer membrane proteins from the prey to their own outer membranes. This lifestyle occurs without loss of the biosynthetic potential for axenic growth. | lld:pubmed |
