Lipid Phases and Cell Geometry During the Cell Cycle of Streptococcus pneumoniae
The coexistence of different lipid phases is well-known in vitro, but evidence for their presence and function in cellular membranes remains scarce. Using a combination of fluorescent lipid probes, we observe segregation of domains that suggests the coexistence of liquid and gel phases in the membra...
