Type VI Secretion System Toxins Horizontally Shared between Marine Bacteria.

Type VI Secretion System Toxins Horizontally Shared between Marine Bacteria.

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a widespread protein secretion apparatus used by Gram-negative bacteria to deliver toxic effector proteins into adjacent bacterial or host cells. Here, we uncovered a role in interbacterial competition for the two T6SSs encoded by the marine pathogen Vibrio alg...
