Live cell dynamics of production, explosive release and killing activity of phage tail-like weapons for Pseudomonas kin exclusion
Vacheron et al. visualize the dynamics of production, cellular transport and release of phage tail-like devices called R-tailocins by Pseudomonas bacteria and demonstrate their kin killing activity at single-cell level. The study offers insights into microbial competition mechanisms.
