Fig. 1From: Emerging role of microbiota derived outer membrane vesicles to preventive, therapeutic and diagnostic proposesBiogenesis and cargo of outer membrane vesicles. It has been found that some components impact the OMV biogenesis including (1) Peptidoglycan endopeptidases, (2) cross-links of Meso-diaminopimelic acid– Meso-diaminopimelic acid within the peptidoglycan, (3) LPS or peptidoglycan fragments, (4) LPS-associated molecules, (5) insertion of PQS into the outer leaflet of the outer membrane, and (6) envelope components.
