abstract = {A biomimetic system modeling the behavior of Gram-negative
bacteria under hyperosmotic stress was developed. To this
end, we introduced a two-step electroswelling procedure for
encapsulation of giant unilamellar vesicles by an additional
membrane. Both membranes of the resulting double-shell
vesicles (DSVs) were fluid. Additionally, the outer membrane
was rigidified by a monolayer of streptavidin forming a
two-dimensional crystal. For strong attachment of this
protein layer, the outer membrane contained biotinylated
lipids. This reinforced protein-lipid compound membrane
served to model the assembly of the murein wall and outer
membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. We characterized DSVs by
confocal laser scanning microscopy. Furthermore, DSVs were
exposed to hyperosmotic media (osmotic difference 0-1100
mosm/L), and the resulting shapes were analyzed. DSVs coated
with streptavidin were much less deformed or destroyed by
osmotic stress than bare DSVs or DSVs coated with
noncrystalline avidin. Osmotically stressed DSVs coated with
streptavidin displayed weak wrinkling of the outer membrane
and formed small daughter vesicles of the inner membrane.
Both features and the toughness against hyperosmotic stress
are well described characteristics of Gram-negative
bacteria.},
