TL;DR: The study is the first report of a cell wall channel in the pathogenic C. urealyticum and the purified protein termed PorACur was purified to homogeneity using different biochemical methods and had an apparent molecular mass of about 4 kDa on tricine-containing sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).

TL;DR: A new outer membrane protein has been found to be induced in P. aeruginosa grown low-phosphate media and experiments suggested that the diameter of the protein-P pore is much smaller than that of the other porins.

TL;DR: Charge-pulse relaxation studies with the alamethicin-lipid membrane system reveal a triphasic decay of membrane voltage, which means that the system does not reach the equilibrium states obtained at constant voltages.

TL;DR: The cell wall of the Gram‐positive mycolic‐acid‐containing actinomycete Dietzia maris DSM 43672 was found to contain a pore‐forming protein, as observed from reconstitution experiments with artificial lipid bilayer experiments in the presence of cell wall extracts.

TL;DR: The Gram-negative bacterium Bordetella pertussis is the cause of whooping cough and one of its pathogenicity factors is the adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA), which belongs to the continuously increasing family of repeat in toxin (RTX) toxins.
