  • In both cases, extending the coiled-coil structure of Lpp by 21 residues (Lpp+21) was found to be the longest form that supported close to normal growth (Cohen et al., 2017; Asmar et al., 2017). Imaging of these Lpp+21 strains in both studies showed that the total periplasmic width had been stretched ~3–4 nm
