Summary
| T6SS ID | T6SS01286  |
| T6SS type | Type Unknown |
| Strain | Vibrio fischeri EBS004 |
| Replicon (GenBank) | (-) |
| Location | - |
| Function | anti-bacterial |
| Comment | When incubated with either wild-type FQ-A001 or the vasA_1 mutant, ES114 was killed by 5 h and not visibly de- tected at 15 h. In contrast, when incubated with the vasA_2 mutant, ES114 was able to grow after 5 h and was visibly detectable in the mixed colony after 15 h. When vasA_2 was complemented in trans using an isopropyl-D-thio- galactopyranoside (IPTG)-inducible expression vector, killing was restored in an IPTG-dependent manner show that FQ-A001 uses T6SS2 to kill ES114 and T6SS2 encodes the necessary components to assemble a sheath, which is dependent on the baseplate component VasA_2 |
