After entering the periplasmic space of its host the Bdellovibrio bacterium forms a structure called a bdelloplast, which modifies both predator's and prey's cells.
The Bdellovibrio cell then enters the host periplasmic space.
The inner and outer cell membranes form a new compartment in these cells, the periplasmic space or the periplasmic compartment.
The loss of periplasmic CuZnSOD causes loss of virulence and might be an attractive target for new antibiotics.
