Mechanism of bacterial predation via ixotrophy

This study identifies the molecular mechanisms of ixotrophy in bacteria, revealing the role of multiple secretion systems and regulatory elements in predatory behavior.

Effector loading onto VgrG spike proteins is critical for the assembly of the type VI secretion system in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

This study shows that loading effectors onto VgrG spike proteins is essential for T6SS assembly and function in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
