The activity mechanism and function of bacterial base-pairing small non-coding RNA regulators (sRNAs) are largely shaped by their main interacting cellular partners, i.e., proteins and mRNAs.

During predation, myxobacterial cells produce a wide variety of secondary metabolites and hydrolytic enzymes to kill and consume the prey. It is known that eukaryotic predators, such as ameba and macrophages, introduce copper and other metals into the phagosomes to kill their prey by oxidative stress.
