The paper shows that growing transposon libraries as mixed cultures affects mutant composition due to autologous antimicrobials.

This paper identifies VdAve1, an antimicrobial effector from the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae, and shows it kills bacteria by binding lipoteichoic acid and disrupting plasma membranes.

This study identifies FtsZ and SepF as essential for Z-ring formation in Bacillus subtilis and discovers BraB as a new cell division regulator through gene deletion experiments.
