Engineering Pseudomonas protegens as a Targeted Antifungal‐Effector Delivery Chassis via Heterologous Type III Secretion System Reconstitution

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
A heterologous T3SS turns Pseudomonas protegens Pf‐5 into a programmable molecular syringe that delivers Bg9562 into Fusarium hyphae, suppresses fungal pathogens, enhances rhizosphere colonization and protects tomato plants from wilt. This modular platform offers a transferable strategy for next‐generation fungal biocontrol.
