Bacterial type VI secretion system helps prevent cheating in microbial communities

In their paper, “Trojan horse-like T6SS effector TepC mediates both interference competition and exploitative competition”, Song and colleagues (2024) remind us of an important societal principle that everyone contributes to benefit the collective population [1]. This challenging task is reflected i...
