The prey (blue) multiply, don't move and produce capsule (purple). The predators (red) move towards prey and attack non-kin. They divide only if they lyse prey. The defenders (orange) move randomly and defend themselves by retaliation (divide if they lyse a cell). Who wins?

Check out the NotebookLM powered interactive Q&A: sites.google.com/view/bacfigh...
This is based on the scientific literature and the simulation code. Literature is cited in the help and the documentation. Extremely helpful!

Major update to BacFighT6: sites.google.com/view/bacfigh...
Simulate the role of motility/chemotaxis, capsule production, activation by autoinducers, contact dependent killing, kin-exclusion, foraging and more. Long simulations, extensive data import/export and analysis. Interactive Q&A!

To make our research more approachable, I used #Gemini to develop (mostly by #vibecoding) a simulation of #T6SS mediated bacterial interactions. I hope that you'll have as much fun as I have with this and that you'll learn something new!

Bacterial attack only as defense
Thank you, Katrin, for a great news article:
Damaged but not defeated: Bacteria use nano-spearguns to retaliate against attacks

Poke bacteria with a sharp needle and they poke back in just a few seconds!
Congratulations to Mitchell (and others) for this analysis of Pseudomonas #T6SS assembly in response to membrane damage!
