Researchers discovered that certain bacteria in the gut come weaponized with “dart guns” that inject poison in rival bacteria. Other bacteria have an even more ingenious strategy. They transfer a piece of DNA called GA1 into rival bacteria, blocking them from forming their own gun and causing them to make their opponent’s gun instead, thus turning rivals into renegades.
