Interaction of modified liposomes with Bacillus spores

Chem Commun (Camb). 2004 Feb 21:(4):430-1. doi: 10.1039/b312389h. Epub 2004 Jan 19.

Abstract

The interaction between liposomes modified with a particular peptide sequence and Bacillus subtilis spores was experimentally observed as (1) an increase in the average diameter of spore-related particles, and (2) the formation of dense and structured shells around the spores at higher concentrations of liposomes.
