Popis: Predatory Myxobacteria employ a multilayered predation strategy to kill and lyse soil microorganisms. Aiming to dissect the mechanism of contact-dependent killing of bacteria, we analyze four protein secretion systems in Myxococcus xanthus and investigate the predation of mutant strains on different timescales. We find that a Tad-like and a type 3-like secretion system (Tad and T3SS
