DNA Uptake upon T6SS-Dependent Prey Cell Lysis Induces SOS Response and Reduces Fitness of Acinetobacter baylyi
Summary: Certain Gram-negative bacteria use the type VI secretion system (T6SS) to kill and lyse competing bacteria. Here, we show that the T6SS-dependent lysis of prey cells by the naturally competent Acinetobacter baylyi results in the extensive filamentation of a subpopulation of A. baylyi cells....
