Illustration of a bacterial cell membrane showing an efflux pump system. The diagram highlights various components: outer efflux pump, outer membrane channel protein (TOMP), periplasmic space, periplasmic adaptor protein (PAP), membrane fusion protein (MFP), and inner membrane. ATP is depicted facilitating the process. The baatirioglycan layer is mentioned, indicating a protective layer often associated with bacterial cell walls. Various chemical structures and arrows illustrate substrate transport and energy flow, emphasizing the pump's role in moving substances across the cell membrane.
