Preprint 🦠🚨: We are diving deeper into #T6SS effectors, and now in #Pantoea. We describe the largest, most diverse effector arsenal associated with a single T6SS, and it's in a plant pathogen that forms galls on beet roots. Sweet! 1/8 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Pantoea agglomerans T6SS effectors reside in hotspots with combinatorial offensive and defensive arsenals

Gram-negative bacteria deploy type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) to mediate interbacterial competition. Although numerous T6SS effectors have been identified, their pan-genomic repertoires and evolutio...

Excited to share our new preprint on a question that has puzzled us for a long time: How can the bacterial nano-weapon, type VI secretion system (T6SS), load and deliver so many antibacterial toxins that are completely different in structure and function? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A question to bacteriology/phage friends 🦠 Can anyone point me to a paper showing plaques forming in E. coli that are spotted after co-incubation with a conjugative donor (e.g., after mating using a conjugation helper)? Any help will be most appreciated 🙂 #phage
