Conserved inhibitory mechanisms of root-associated bacteria towards Arabidopsis thaliana and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Soil bacteria colonize plants without causing visible disease, yet many suppress host growth. The prevalence and evolutionary reach of this cryptic inhibition are unknown, because phenotyping hundreds of isolates in plants is prohibitively slow. Here we use the unicellular algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a scalable...

Genome-wide Identification of Type VI Secretion System Effectors via Machine Learning Uncovers Three New Bacterial Toxins

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a molecular harpoon used by 19% of sequenced bacteria to inject toxic proteins into microbial competitors or host cells. Despite its widespread distribution, many T6SS effectors (T6Es) remain unidentified in bacterial genomes. Here, we developed an XGBoost classifier integrating 4...
