Contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) systems enable the direct transfer of protein toxins between competing Gram-negative bacteria. CDI+ strains produce cell surface CdiA effector proteins that bind specific receptors on neighboring bacteria

Insect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble proteins which have been assigned roles in olfaction, however their different potential capabilities haven’t been extensively explored. Utilizing CRISPR/Cas9-mediated disruption of Aedes aegypti Obp10 and Obp22,
