Abstract Most bacteria have evolved mechanisms to compete with other bacteria, often through the specialised secretion of proteinaceous toxins. However, mycobacteria have not previously been reported to engage in this form of competition. The thick and unusual mycobacterial cell wall, comprised of peptidoglycan, arabinogalactan and mycolic acids, is generally thought to be highly protective to these bacteria.

DSW Ventures was founded in 2018 to bridge the gap in equity funding for startups outside of London, particularly at the pre-Series A stage. We have since invested £8M in 11 companies, and now review over 200 investment opportunities each month. We invest sums of £100,000 to £1M in rounds of up to £2.5M across all sectors. Regional businesses typically have a much harder time raising investment than those in London.
