Agrobacterium tumefaciens incites the formation of readily visible macroscopic structures
known as crown galls on plant tissues that it infects. Records from biologists as early as the …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a powerful bacterial molecular weapon that can inject
effector proteins into prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, thereby participating in the competition …

The aerial parts of plants are host to taxonomically structured bacterial communities.
Members of the core phyllosphere microbiota can protect Arabidopsis thaliana against foliar …

The plant‐growth‐promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense is able to associate with the
microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana. Attachment of A. brasilense increases the metabolic …

Among plant-associated bacteria, agrobacteria occupy a special place. These bacteria are
feared in the field as agricultural pathogens. They cause abnormal growth deformations and …

Acidovorax citrulli is a gram-negative plant pathogen that employs the type Ⅲ secretion
system (T3SS) to infect cucurbit crops and cause bacterial fruit blotch. This bacterium also …

The type VI secretion system (T6 SS) is used by many bacteria to engage in social behavior
and can affect the health of its host plant or animal. Because activities associated with T6 SS …

Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) can deliver diverse toxic effectors into eukaryotic and
bacterial cells. Although much is known about the regulation and assembly of T6SS, the …

Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are complex molecular machines that allow bacteria to
deliver toxic effector proteins to neighboring bacterial and eukaryotic cells. Although initial …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is deployed by many proteobacteria to secrete effector
proteins into bacterial competitors for competition or eukaryotic cells for pathogenesis …
