Uptake of fluorescently labeled β-oligohomoarginines amides by bacteria was examined with confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluorescence quenching assays. The results indicate that microorganisms, which have no endocytotic mechanisms for transmembrane transport, internalize the peptides through an unidentified alternative pathway (see micrograph).
