Extended Data Fig. 1: Protein subcellular localizations.

From: Plasmids do not consistently stabilize cooperation across bacteria but may promote broad pathogen host-range

Extended Data Fig. 1

Visualization of all possible subcellular locations predicted by PSORTb. The left panel shows a cross-section of a typical Gram-negative bacterium and the right panel shows the equivalent for a Gram-positive bacterium. Both kinds of bacteria have an inner membrane, known as the cytoplasmic membrane. The main difference is that Gram-positive bacteria are surrounded by a thick layer of a molecule called peptidoglycan, while Gram-negative bacteria have a much thinner layer of peptidoglycan, and have an additional membrane.
