Contact-Dependent Killing by Caulobacter Crescentus via Cell Surface-Associated, Glycine Zipper Proteins
Most bacteria are in fierce competition with other species for limited nutrients. Some bacteria can kill nearby cells by secreting bacteriocins, a diverse group of proteinaceous antimicrobials. However, bacteriocins are typically freely diffusible, and so of little value to planktonic cells in aqueo...
