Happy to share our paper from a new research line led by @camolsan.bsky.social, where we engineered the T6SS of Pseudomonas putida to deliver effectors against bacterial competitors and fungal pathogens like Botrytis cinerea. @ihsmumacsic.bsky.social

Diversification of Lipopeptide Analogues Drives Versatility in Biological Activities
Cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) are potent secondary metabolites with diverse biological functions. Bacillus strains primarily produce CLPs of three key families, namely, iturins, fengycins, and surfactins...

This will probably generate some backlash since there are important environmental, commensal, and pathogenic species in each group, but Gram-positive bacteria are just more talented, rather more charismatic, and simply better looking than Gram-negative bacteria
