Extracellular vesicles of minimalistic Mollicutes as mediators of immune modulation and horizontal gene transfer
Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are central components of bacterial secretomes, including the small, cell wall-less Mollicutes.Although EV release in Mollicutes has been reported, EV proteomic composition and function have not been explored yet.We developed a protocol for isolating EVs of the pathogens Mycoplasma mycoides subsp.capri (Mmc) an
