Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition in Bacteria: Do Not Get Too Close!

Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition in Bacteria: Do Not Get Too Close!

Over millions of years of evolution, bacteria have developed complex strategies for intra-and interspecies interactions and competition for ecological niches and resources. Contact-dependent growth inhibition systems (CDI) are designed to realize a direct physical contact of one bacterial cell with...
