INHIBITING TYPE VI SECRETION SYSTEM ACTIVITY WITH A BIOMIMETIC PEPTIDE DESIGNED TO TARGET THE BASEPLATE WEDGE COMPLEX

Inhibiting Type VI Secretion System Activity with a Biomimetic Peptide Designed To Target the Baseplate Wedge Complex

ABSTRACT Human health is threatened by bacterial infections that are increasingly resistant to multiple drugs.A recently emerged strategy consists of disarming pathogenic bacteria by targeting and blocking their virulence factors.The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a widespread secretion nanomachine encoded and employed by pathogenic strains to

Effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, Selenium and Biochar on Photosynthetic Pigments and Antioxidant Enzyme Activity Under Arsenic Stress in Mung Bean (Vigna radiata)

Environmental perturbations alter biochemical compounds in food crops.Arsenic (As), a toxic metalloid, is known to affect the cultivation of food crops in many regions of the world; however, the changes in chlorophyll, catalase (CAT), and proline in response to As stress and the role of stress relief substances remain largely unknown in mung bean (
