This study shows that the Dickeya-derived tailocin P2D1 targets phylogenetically distant Pseudomonas species, challenging the idea that tailocins only act against close relatives.

The paper examines the timing of P2D1 tailocin production in Dickeya dadantii 3937, showing gene expression peaks at 2 hours and tailocin concentration peaks at 6 hours post-induction, correlating with cell lysis.

This study examines tailocin production and activity in plant pathogenic bacteria, finding Dickeya spp. have higher killing efficiency and broader phylogenetic targets than Pectobacterium spp.

The paper reports the complete genome of Pseudomonas donghuensis P482, a biocontrol strain against plant pathogens, providing resources for studying its biological control mechanisms.
