A bacterial-killing type IV secretion system as a hidden antifungal device
Interkingdom competition between bacteria and fungi in nutrient-limited environments drives microbial community dynamics, yet the molecular mechanisms enabling bacterial dominance during bacterial-fungal interaction remain poorly characterized. This study reveals a paradigm-shifting role for bacterial type IV secretion...
