A quorum sensing-regulated type VI secretion system containing multiple nonredundant VgrG proteins is required for interbacterial competition in <i>Chromobacterium violaceum</i>
2022-04-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The environmental pathogenic bacterium Chromobacterium violaceum kills Gram-positive bacteria delivering violacein packed into outer membrane vesicles, but nothing is known about its contact-dependent competition mechanisms. In this work, we demonstrate that C. violaceum utilizes a type VI secretion system (T6SS) containing multiple VgrG proteins primarily for interbacterial competition. The s...
