An interbacterial DNA deaminase toxin directly mutagenizes surviving target populations

An interbacterial DNA deaminase toxin directly mutagenizes surviving target populations

When bacterial cells come in contact, antagonism mediated by the delivery of toxins frequently ensues. The potential for such encounters to have long-term beneficial consequences in recipient cells has not been investigated. Here, we examined the effects of intoxication by DddA, a cytosine deaminase...
