Abstract
The T6SS encodes multiple effectors with diverse functions, but little is known about the biological significance of harboring such a repertoire of effectors. We reported that the T6SS antibacterial activity of the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens can be enhanced under carbon starvation or when recipient cell wall peptidoglycan is disturbed.
