Happy to share our paper from a new research line led by @camolsan.bsky.social, where we engineered the T6SS of Pseudomonas putida to deliver effectors against bacterial competitors and fungal pathogens like Botrytis cinerea. @ihsmumacsic.bsky.social jbioleng.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Excited to share our latest preprint! A fascinating story of chemical dialogue and microbial warfare: the Bacillus extracellular matrix acts as a key driver in the antagonistic interaction with Botrytis, while the fungus mounts a multi-layered defense. 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The offensive role of the Bacillus extracellular matrix in driving metabolite-mediated dialogue and adaptive strategies with pathogenic fungi
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....
