Intracellular compartmentalization is essential for all cells and enables the regulation and optimization of metabolism1. One of the main functions of subcellular compartments is the storage of nutrients2-4. As bacteria do generally not possess membrane-bound organelles, they often have to rely on functionally analogous protein-based compartments2,5-7. Encapsulin nanocompartments are one of the most prevalent protein-based compartmentalization strategies found in prokaryotes5,8. Here ...
