Type VI secretion systems of plant‐pathogenic Burkholderia glumae BGR1 play a functionally distinct role in interspecies interactions and virulence
9 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
In the environment, bacteria show close association, such as interspecies interaction, with other bacteria as well as host organisms. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) in gram-negative bacteria is involved in bacterial competition or virulence. The plant pathogen Burkholderia glumae BGR1, causing bacterial panicle blight in rice, has four T6SS gene clusters. The presence of at least one T6SS gene cluster in an...
