Figure 5.

The outer membrane contains outer-surface lipoproteins (Osps) in high density and β-barrel outer-membrane-spanning proteins such as BamA in low density. The inner membrane is rich in integral membrane proteins, many of which are transporters. BbCRASP, complement regulator-acquiring surface protein; OppA1, oligopeptide permease A1; PTS, phosphotransferase system. Reprinted with permission from Radolf et al. 2012.
