The Type VI Secretion Systems in Plant-Beneficial Bacteria Modulate Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Interactions in the Rhizosphere

Rhizosphere colonizing plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) increase their competitiveness by producing diffusible toxic secondary metabolites, which inhibit competitors and deter predators. Many PGPB also have one or more Type VI Secretion System (T6SS), for the delivery of weapons directly into...
