Abstract
Bacteria produce a variety of particles resembling phage tails that are functional without an associated phage head. Acquired from diverse bacteriophage sources, these stand-alone units were sculpted to serve different ecological roles. Such tailocins mediate antagonism between related bacteria as well as interactions with eukaryotic cells.Entities:
