To establish and maintain an ecological niche, bacteria employ a wide range of pathways to
inhibit the growth of their microbial competitors. Some of these pathways, such as those that …

Bacteria inhabit all known ecological niches and establish interactions with organisms from
all kingdoms of life. These interactions are mediated by a wide variety of mechanisms and …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) can function as nanoscale vectors that mediate bacterial
interactions in microbial communities. How bacteria recognize and recruit OMVs inter …

Insects are the most diverse group of animals and colonize almost all environments on our
planet. This diversity is reflected in the structure and function of the microbial communities …

Root‐colonizing bacteria have been intensively investigated for their intimate relationship
with plants and their manifold plant‐beneficial activities. They can inhibit growth and activity …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a molecular puncturing device that enables Gram-
negative bacteria to kill competitors, manipulate host cells and take up nutrients. Who would …

Simple Summary Microorganisms play a crucial role during the growth and development of
insects. However, as a major invasive pest, the diversity and dynamics of gut microbes with …

Bacterial secretion systems are nanomolecular complexes that release a diverse set of
virulence factors/or proteins into its surrounding or translocate to their target host cells …

Interference competition among bacteria requires a highly specialized, narrow-spectrum
weaponry when targeting closely-related competitors while sparing individuals from the …

The genome of Pseudomonas fluorescens F113, a model rhizobacterium and a plant growth-
promoting agent, encodes three putative type VI secretion systems (T6SSs); F1-, F2-and F3 …
