Thioesterase modulates antibacterial Type VI secretion system via alteration in oxidative stress responses in Burkholderia
Bacteria utilize specialized protein secretion systems, particularly the type VI secretion system (T6SS), to dominate interbacterial competitions and kill the prey bacteria in a contact-dependent manner. Here, we report that disruption of the thioesterase gene encoded in the gramibactin (a bacterial siderophore) biosyn...
