Target type: cellularcomponent
The region between the inner (cytoplasmic or plasma) membrane and outer membrane of organisms with two membranes such as Gram negative bacteria. These periplasmic spaces are relatively thick and contain a thin peptidoglycan layer (PGL), also referred to as a thin cell wall. [GOC:mlg, GOC:mtg_sensu]
The outer membrane-bounded periplasmic space is a unique compartment found in Gram-negative bacteria. It is located between the inner (cytoplasmic) membrane and the outer membrane, and it is filled with a gel-like matrix that contains a variety of proteins, enzymes, and other molecules.
The outer membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, like the inner membrane, but it also contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a complex molecule that is unique to Gram-negative bacteria. LPS is embedded in the outer leaflet of the outer membrane, and it helps to protect the bacterium from the environment.
The space between the inner and outer membranes is called the periplasm. It is filled with a gel-like matrix that is rich in proteins. These proteins can be either soluble or associated with the membranes.
The periplasmic space plays a vital role in a variety of cellular functions, including:
* **Transport:** The periplasm contains many proteins that are involved in the transport of nutrients into the cell and the excretion of waste products.
* **Metabolism:** The periplasm is also the site of many metabolic reactions.
* **Stress response:** The periplasm helps to protect the cell from environmental stress, such as changes in pH or temperature.
The periplasm is a unique compartment that is essential for the survival of Gram-negative bacteria. It provides a protected environment for the bacterium to carry out a variety of important cellular functions.'
