Update to BacFighT6, with presets for easy exploration of complex behaviors:

Try "battle royale" preset where prey (blue) produce capsule, attackers (red) move towards prey and feed on it, defenders (orange) retaliate!

Took a while to eliminate the reds!

Happy to share our latest T6SS review:

Thank you, Jan, Danny (@dannyjamesward.bsky.social), Joana (@joanampereira.bsky.social), as well as reviewers and editors @natrevmicro.nature.com!

Major update to BacFighT6: sites.google.com/view/bacfigh...
Simulate the role of motility/chemotaxis, capsule production, activation by autoinducers, contact dependent killing, kin-exclusion, foraging and more. Long simulations, extensive data import/export and analysis. Interactive Q&A!

To make our research more approachable, I used #Gemini to develop (mostly by #vibecoding) a simulation of #T6SS mediated bacterial interactions. I hope that you'll have as much fun as I have with this and that you'll learn something new!

Poke bacteria with a sharp needle and they poke back in just a few seconds!
Congratulations to Mitchell (and others) for this analysis of Pseudomonas #T6SS assembly in response to membrane damage!
