Evolutionary Stabilization of Cooperative Toxin Production through a Bacterium-Plasmid-Phage Interplay
ABSTRACT Colicins are toxins produced and released by Enterobacteriaceae to kill competitors in the gut. While group A colicins employ a division of labor strategy to liberate the toxin into the environment via colicin-specific lysis, group B colicin systems lack cognate lysis genes. In Salmonella e...
