Bacterial secretion is the process by which bacteria release substances to their surroundings, including other cells. Bacteria achieve this using dedicated secretion systems that transport ...

Exploding bacteria. In their recent work, Raunser and his team have applied a cutting-edge combination of several techniques to investigate the secretion of the Tc toxin YenTc produced by the ...

Type VI secretion systems (T6SS) are sophisticated nanomachines that bacteria employ to inject effector proteins directly into neighbouring cells. These systems are structurally reminiscent of ...

A process called 'protein secretion' plays a key role in the ability of many different types of pathogenic bacteria to survive and cause disease. Protein secretion is a process in which bacteria move ...

This type of secretion system, one of a handful of different types of needles bacteria have at their disposal, is widespread across different species of bacteria, Diepold says, so they’re good ...

Scientists have identified the structure of a key component of the bacteria behind such diseases as whooping cough, peptic stomach ulcers and Legionnaires' disease. The research sheds light on how ...

When nutrients are scarce, certain bacteria use the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) to kill neighboring cells and consume their remains, enabling survival and growth.

With antibiotic-resistant bacteria on the rise, scientists have been searching for ways to shut down the Type IV secretion system (T4SS), a protein complex on the outer envelope of bacterial cells ...
