This study identifies the ClpAP protease and its adaptor ClpS as factors enhancing T6SS-mediated bacterial competition by modulating Tde2 DNase effector toxicity through proteolytic degradation of inhibitory substrates.

This study shows that modifying lignin composition in Brachypodium distachyon changes root exudates and microbiome composition, affecting microbial colonization and community structure.

This study demonstrates the use of EcoFABs to measure horizontal gene transfer frequency in the rhizosphere of Brachypodium distachyon, showing dependencies on plant stage, root exudates, donor cell numbers, and environmental stress.
