Efficient delivery of toxic compounds to bacterial competitors is essential during interspecies microbial warfare. Rhamnolipids (RLPs) are glycolipids produced by <i>Pseudomonas</i> and <i>Burkholderia</i> species involved in solubilization and uptake of environmental aliphatic hydrocarbons and perform as biosurfactants for swarming motility. Here, we show that RLPs produced by <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> associate to form micelles. Using high-resolution microscopy, we found that RLP micelles ...[more]
