The type VI secretion system (T6SS) mediates interactions between a broad range of Gram-
negative bacterial species. Recent studies have led to a substantial increase in the number …

The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is an organelle that is structurally and
mechanistically analogous to an intracellular membrane-attached contractile phage tail …

Biological nitrogen fixation by Rhizobium-legume symbioses represents an environmentally
friendly and inexpensive alternative to the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers in legume …

As current research activities have focused on symbiotic or parasitic plant–microbe
interactions, other types of associations between plants and microorganisms are often …

Roots are the primary site of interaction between plants and microorganisms. To meet food
demands in changing climates, improved yields and stress resistance are increasingly …

Bacterial type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are molecular weapons designed to deliver
toxic effectors into prey cells. These nanomachines have an important role in inter-bacterial …

The functional spectrum of a secretion system is defined by its substrates. Here we analyzed
the secretomes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants altered in regulation of the Hcp …

Most bacterial pathogens have the remarkable ability to flourish in the external environment
and in specialized host niches. This ability requires their metabolism, physiology, and …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a bacterial nanomachine used to inject effectors into
prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells and is thus involved in both host manipulation and …

The bacterium Vibrio cholerae, like other human pathogens that reside in environmental
reservoirs, survives predation by unicellular eukaryotes. Strains of the O1 and O139 …
