However, the molecular mechanisms involved in biogenesis began to be studied only in the last few decades. Presently, the biogenesis and molecular mechanisms for their release are not completely known. This review covers the most recent information on cellular components involved in OMV biogenesis, such as lipoproteins and outer membrane proteins, lipopolysaccharide, phospholipids, quorum-sensing molecules, and flagella.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 Internationalouter membrane vesiclesbacterial vesiclesextracellular vesiclesOMVs biogenesisphospholipidsLPSPQSflagellinArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2021.5579021233746909
