When bacteria get hungry, they kill—and eat—their neighbors, research reveals Scientists have discovered a gruesome microbial survival strategy: when food is scarce, some bacteria kill and consume their neighbors.

Bacteria that do not normally attack other bacteria will attack and eat them when food is scarce. Bacteria that have a Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) can use it to "harpoon" other bacteria when under stress from lack of nutrients.
