The extracellular contractile injection system is enriched in environmental microbes and associates with numerous toxins
The extracellular Contractile Injection System (eCIS) is a toxin-delivery particle that mediates interactions between bacteria and their invertebrate hosts. Here, the authors catalogue eCIS loci from 1,249 prokaryotic genomes, showing enrichment in non-pathogenic environmental microbes, and identify...
