Gram-negative bacteria commonly deploy type VI secretion systems (T6SS) to intoxicate neighboring competitors. The T6SS apparatus forms a contractile sheath that ejects complex payloads composed of many distinct protein toxins. Here, I outline a forward genetic screen to identify interesting mutations that influence T6SS dynamics. Collectively, these mutations suggest that cell size and shape are fundamental for the control of T6SS.
