Hijacking competitor-derived signals: RcsB/C drives Lysobacter enzymogenes to exploit farnesol for enhanced antifungal capacity

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Microbial antagonism is a fundamental ecological process that shapes community composition and maintains ecosystem balance. However, the molecular signals, such as cross-kingdom interactions between bacteria and fungi in natural environments, remain ...

Evolution on the microbial battlefield

, 2016
Microbes live in dense communities where strains and species compete for space and nutrients. Cells within these communities produce a large array of secretions, such as toxins or scavenging molecules, that kill and inhibit other strains. While competition is common and important for microbes, its impacts on their communities remains poorly understood.
