Pathogenic bacteria tightly regulate gene expression in response to environmental cues. In Burkholderia species, the Type VI Secretion Systems (T6SS) mediate interbacterial competition and host cell i...

β-Glucanases play a critical role in degrading fungal cell wall β-glucans, compromising fungal integrity and development. Here we characterize BvlzGlu…

Abstract. Bacterial–fungal interactions have traditionally been attributed to secondary metabolites, but the role of the bacterial extracellular matrix in

Emerging biotechnological strategies to weaken the infective capacity of fungal pathogens without sole reliance on chemical agents. On the left, gene silencing via RNA interference (RNAi) targeting k...

Background Bacteria employ diverse molecular systems, such as the type VI secretion system (T6SS) to outcompete other microorganisms and adapt to ecological niches. The T6SS is a versatile nanomachine...

Bacterial□fungal interactions have traditionally been attributed to secondary metabolites, but the role of the bacterial extracellular matrix (ECM) in shaping these relationships has remained unclear....

Cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) are potent secondary metabolites with diverse biological functions. Bacillus strains primarily produce CLPs of three key families, namely, iturins, fengycins, and surfactins...
