Horizontal Gene Transfer of Functional Type VI Killing Genes by Natural Transformation.

mBio - 25 Jul 2017

Thomas Jacob, Watve Samit S, Ratcliff William C, Hammer Brian K

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can have profound effects on bacterial evolution by allowing individuals to rapidly acquire adaptive traits that shape their strategies for competition. One strategy for intermicrobial antagonism often used by Proteobacteria is the genetically encoded contact-dependent type VI secretion system (T6SS), a weapon used to kill heteroclonal neighbors by direct injection of toxic...
