Streptomyces umbrella toxin particles block hyphal growth of competing species
Q. Zhao, S. Bertolli, et al.
This intriguing study uncovers that Streptomyces not only produce small-molecule antibiotics but also secrete umbrella toxin particles that inhibit competitor growth. Visualized through cryo-electron microscopy, these protein complexes suggest a widespread mechanism among Actinobacteria. Discover more about this exciting research conducted by Qinqin Zhao, Savannah Bertolli, and their team.
