A schematic cross-section depicts a Gram-negative prey bacterium transformed into a bdelloplast by an intraperiplasmic predator. In microbiology and bacteriology, this cell-level interaction shows a Bdellovibrio and like organism (BALO) residing within the periplasm of a host Gram-negative bacterium (GNB), where it digests cytoplasmic contents and replicates. The illustration represents a bacterial cell within another cell envelope, emphasizing hierarchical organization of predator inside host compartment. Functionally, this predatory stage enables lysis and release of progeny, supporting potential biocontrol applications against susceptible bacteria.
