Bacteriocins in archaea and archaeocins in bacteria

Romain Strock, Tobias Warnecke

The paper investigates the presence of bacteriocins in archaea and archaeocins in bacteria, finding that over 20% of known bacteriocins have archaeal homologs and some archaeocins are common in bacterial genomes.

Systematic genome-guided discovery of antagonistic interactions between archaea and bacteria

Romain Strock, Valerie W. C. Soo, Pauline Misson, Georgia Roumelioti, Pavel V. Shliaha, Antoine Hocher, Tobias Warnecke

This study identifies antagonistic interactions between archaea and bacteria by analyzing genome sequences and demonstrating the antibacterial activity of archaeal peptidoglycan hydrolases.
