Type VI secretion system: secretion by a contractile nanomachine

The type VI secretion systems (T6SS) are present in about a quarter of all Gram-negative bacteria. Several key components of T6SS are evolutionarily related to components of contractile nanomachines such as phages and R-type pyocins. The T6SS assembly is initiated by formation of a membrane complex that binds a phage-like baseplate with a sharp spike, and this is followed by polymerization of a...

Type VI secretion system

Bacteria employ a variety of tools to survive in a competitive environment. Salomon and Orth describe one such tool-the Type 6 Secretion Systems used by bacteria to deliver a variety of toxins into competing cells.

Part VI Example Problems

An object is cloaked if its presence cannot be detected by an observer using electromagnetic or other forms of imaging. In fact, the observer should not notice that cloaking is even occurring. Cloaking has a long history in science fiction, but recent developments have put the idea on a firmer mathematical and physical basis. Suppose that an observer seeks to image some bounded region Ω in spac...
