| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Almost bacteria naturally secrete sphere shaped vesicles that are approximately 50 to 250 nm. These vesicles are mainly composed of cellular membrane and hence called membrane vesicles (MVs). It has been reported about MV, but they were about MV of model bacteria. It doesn't have been reported about MV from environmental samples. Here, we investigated that bacterial membrane vesicles isolated from environmental samples include a role as a carrier of bacterial signals.
