Article Synopsis
- The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is crucial for bacterial competition and interactions, especially in symbiotic relationships, like those between bacteria and squid.
- In a study analyzing 73 genomes from squid light organs and accessory structures, diverse T6SS classes were identified, indicating evolutionary connections to both beneficial and pathogenic bacteria.
- This research highlights the significance of T6SSs in bacterial adaptability and their potential effects on the health of host organisms, emphasizing the need for further investigation in various ecological contexts.
Species belonging to the Euwallacea fornicatus Eichhoff (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) species complex have invaded the continental U.S. since at least 2003.
