The biophysical basis of bacterial colony growth

A. R. Pokhrel, G. Steinbach, A. Krueger, T. C. Day, J. Tijani, B. K. Hammer, P. J. Yunker

This study shows that the horizontal expansion rate of bacterial colonies is controlled by the contact angle at the biofilm edge, validated through experimental measurements and theoretical modeling.

Evolution of a cis-acting SNP that controls Type VI Secretion in Vibrio cholerae

S. L. Ng, S. A. Kammann, G. Steinbach, T. Hoffmann, P. J. Yunker, B. K. Hammer

This study identifies a cis-acting SNP in Vibrio cholerae that controls Type VI Secretion System activity, switching between constitutive and inducible states based on environmental cues.

A new contact killing toxin permeabilizes cells and belongs to a large protein family

B. K. Hammer, C. Crisan, H. Chandrashekar, C. Everly, G. Steinbach, S. E. Hill, R. R. Lieberman, P. J. Yunker

This paper identifies TpeV, a novel T6SS toxin from V. cholerae that permeabilizes cells and belongs to a widespread protein family.

Glucose promotes resistance of human commensal Escherichia coli against contact-killing by pandemic Vibrio cholerae

C. Crisan, H. Nichols, S. Wiesenfeld, G. Steinbach, P. J. Yunker, B. K. Hammer

This study shows glucose enhances E. coli resistance to T6SS attacks from V. cholerae through CRP-mediated metabolic changes, independent of immunity proteins.

Accumulation of dead cells from contact killing facilitates coexistence in bacterial biofilms

G. Steinbach, C. V. Crisan, S. L. Ng, B. K. Hammer, P. J. Yunker

The paper shows that dead cell debris from T6SS-mediated killing limits contact between bacterial strains, preventing population elimination and enabling coexistence.

Analysis of Vibrio cholerae genomes using a novel bioinformatic tool identifies new, active Type VI Secretion System gene clusters

C. V. Crisan, A. T. Chande, K. Williams, V. Raghuram, L. Rishishwar, G. Steinbach, P. Yunker, K. I. Jordan, B. K. Hammer

The paper develops a bioinformatic tool to identify new T6SS gene clusters in V. cholerae and demonstrates the function of a newly discovered effector protein.
