Killing by Type VI secretion drives genetic phase separation and correlates with increased cooperation

The Type VI Secretory System (T6SS) is used by some bacteria to kill non-kin competitors. Here, McNally and colleagues combine mathematical modelling, experiments withVibrio choleraand phylogenetic analysis to show that by eliminating nearby non-kin the T6SS may also favour cooperation among kin.
