Diversification of Type VI Secretion System Toxins Reveals Ancient Antagonism among Bee Gut Microbes
Microbial communities are shaped by interactions among their constituent members. Some Gram-negative bacteria employ type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) to inject protein toxins into neighboring cells. These interactions have been theorized to affect the composition of host-associated microbiomes, but...
