Type VI Secretion System Toxins Horizontally Shared between Marine Bacteria.
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a widespread protein secretion apparatus used by Gram-negative bacteria to deliver toxic effector proteins into adjacent bacterial or host cells.Here, here we uncovered a role in interbacterial competition for the two T6SSs encoded by the marine pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus.Using comparative proteomics and ge
