The beneficial rhizobacterium _Bacillus velezensis_ SQR9 secretes YukE by the type VII secretion system; YukE inserts into the plant root cell membrane to cause iron leakage, which benefits

SQR9 and thus promotes its rhizosphere colonization. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS
