Intraspecific bacterial competition mediated by rapidly diversifying tailocin and prophage loci

Sarah Kauffman, Ryan Musumba Awori, Emmanuel C. Allwell, Aaron A. Taylor, Farrah Bashey, Heidi Goodrich‐Blair

This study shows that Xenorhabdus bacteria use phage-related genes to diversify their weaponry and defense systems, enabling competitive interactions with closely related strains.
