Abstract
Bhattacharya et al. show that bacterial intercellular nanotubes, facilitating cytoplasmic molecular exchange among cells, emerge from conserved CORE components of the flagellar export apparatus. CORE-mediated nanotube formation is widespread among bacterial species. The results establish the CORE-derived nanotube as a ubiquitous organelle, facilitating intercellular molecular trafficking across the bacterial kingdom.
