Is there a list of types of bacteria that will kill other types of bacteria?

I doubt it. Such bacteria are extremely diverse and cover a large spread of species. – Jack Aidley Mar 4 at 16:39
Probably most motile bacteria is a good start and then some. – shigeta Mar 4 at 16:45
What do you mean by types? Species? In any case, @JackAidley said it all. – terdon Mar 4 at 19:46

Here's an example. Myxobacteria hunt in packs and eat other bacteria.
