Decoding Bacteriocin Silence: From Predicted Genes to Ecological Function
Predicted bacteriocin genes reveal potential but not function. This review defines four forms of bacteriocin silence—transcriptional, conditional, phenotypic, and ecological—and outlines a function‑first roadmap using condition‑resolved omics, cue‑dissection, structured assays, and defined consortia to link gene catalogs to real ecological impact.
