Abstract

It is proposed that the genesis of extracellular membrane vesicles in Gram-negative bacteria is a result of cell wall turnover. Peptidoglycan turnover would cause a turgor on the outer membrane, causing the outer membrane to bulge and finally bleb. Mechanical motion would then shear the blebs into the culture medium.
