Fig. 1. Working model of solute transport across outer membranes. The model indicates the functional diversity and continuity of bacterial outer membrane channels with those in the outer membrane of chloroplasts and mitochondria. The scheme is not drawn to scale nor can it represent the complexity of the situation in vivo.
