This study shows the type VI secretion system (T6SS) in Bacteroides acidifaciens helps maintain its presence in a wild mouse gut microbiome by antagonizing other Bacteroidales, but its effect depends on ecological context.

This study investigates how QteE and QslA antiactivators modulate RhlR activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, revealing their distinct and overlapping roles in quorum sensing regulation.

This study identifies umbrella toxin particles produced by Streptomyces that inhibit the growth of competing bacterial species, distinct from small molecule antibiotics.
