Extension of the deadline for latecomers. Register to the Secretion Days in Marseille !
Happy to share the last work of Jonas Desjardins, identifying and characterizing a novel Rhs NAD(P) glycohydrolase delivered by the #T6SS of the major cosmetic contaminant, Pluralibacter gergoviae.

Glad to share our latest review on the diversity of defense mechanisms against the T6SS!
“Anti-type VI tactics: bacterial defenses against type VI secretion system attacks” is available in Trends in Biochemical Sciences right now.

Happy to share the last publication of @bobytaillefer.bsky.social, showing that #T6SS heterogeneity is an attenuation strategy to optimizes the trade-off between competitive killing and survival.
Please register ! We are looking to seing you in Marseille !
T2SS ? T4SS ? CDI ? T6SS ? T7SS ?
NO ! The T9SS is also involved in interbacterial competition !!
Great work by Maelle Paillat @maellepllt.bsky.social under the supervision of Thierry Doan @thicoz.bsky.social Congratulations to both ! Glad to see this story out !
Very happy that our work on the T6SS ADP-ribosylcyclase toxin made the Cover at JBC @asbmb.bsky.social y.social ! Congratulations Julius @jmartinkus.bsky.social for designing this Cover !

Julien GIRAUD
The T6SS is a widespread nanoweapon deployed by #bacteria, but why is it deployed heterogeneously? @cascaleslab.bsky.social &co show that #Ecoli adopt distinct #T6SS attacker "ON" & defender "OFF" roles to optimize survival, a key strategy in microbial warfare @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3S5dL45

Very happy to see the second story from my PhD out in @currentbiology.bsky.social
An exciting project where we explored the roles of secretion systems and gliding motility in predatory behavior in F. johnsoniae.
www.cell.com/current-biol...
Paillat et al. show that Flavobacterium johnsoniae combines type VI and type IX secretion
systems with gliding motility to efficiently kill diverse bacterial competitors. They
demonstrate that nutrien...
