Probing the subcellular localization of hopanoid lipids in bacteria using NanoSIMS.

The organization of lipids within biological membranes is poorly understood. Some studies have suggested lipids group into microdomains within cells, but the evidence remains controversial due to non-native imaging techniques. A recently developed NanoSIMS technique indicated that sphingolipids grou...
