The Landscape of Type VI Secretion across Human Gut Microbiomes Reveals its Role in Community Composition

2017-05-08

Abstract excerpt

While the composition of the human gut microbiome has been well defined, the forces governing its assembly are poorly understood. Recently, prominent members of this community from the order Bacteroidales were shown to possess the type VI secretion system (T6SS), which mediates contact-dependent antagonism between Gram-negative bacteria. However, the distribution of the T6SS in human gut microbiomes and its role...
