DNA Secretion and Uptake Mechanisms in the Neisseria Bacteria
Description
This template was adapted from the original submission. Edits were made to enhance scientific accuracy, optimal usability and/or to meet industry-leading design standards for science communication.
This figure shows the natural transformation mechanisms of the Neisseria bacteria, including three secretion mechanisms (autolysis, type IV secretion, transport by outer membrane vesicles) and two uptake mechanisms (catch with pilli, fuse with OMV).
