Horizontal Gene Transfer of the Secretome Drives the Evolution of Bacterial Cooperation and Virulence
BACKGROUND: Microbes engage in a remarkable array of cooperative behaviors, secreting shared proteins that are essential for foraging, shelter, microbial warfare, and virulence. These proteins are costly, rendering populations of cooperators vulnerable to exploitation by nonproducing cheaters arisin...
