Global biogeography and projection of antimicrobial toxin genes
Our study provides baseline information on the global distribution of antimicrobial toxins by combining community samples, genome sequences, and environmental constraints. Our results highlight the natural environment as a reservoir of antimicrobial toxins, advance the understanding of the global distribution of these antimicrobial weapons, and aid their application in clinical, agricultural, and industrial fields.
