Abstract: Bacteria have evolved a diverse array of mechanisms to inhibit and kill competitors. However, why some bacteria carry such weapons while others do not remains poorly understood. Here we explore this question using the genomics… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abb5614
Abstract: A peptidoglycan editing mechanism confers protection against T6SS assaults without relying on immunity proteins. Peptidoglycan (PG) is essential in most bacteria. Thus, it is often targeted by various assaults, including interbacterial attacks via the type… read more here.
