Interspecies interactions are well known among soil-dwelling bacteria belonging to the genera Bacillus and Pseudomonas. When co-cultured, Pseudomonas chlororaphis competes for space with Bacillus subtilis, infiltrates their colonies and kill them. Killing of vegetative cells of B . subtilis by P . chlororaphis requires physical contact and the type-VI secretion system (T6SS) to inject the toxins. B. subtilis undergo
