Abstract excerpt
The type VI secretion system (T6SS), a multifunctional protein secretion device, plays very important roles in bacterial killing and/or virulence to eukaryotic cells. Although T6SS genes have been found in many Xanthomonas species, the biological function of T6SSs has not been elucidated in most xanthomonads. In this study, we identified two phylogenetically distinct T6SS clusters, T6SS1 and T6SS2, in a newly...
