Chemotaxis, the ability of motile bacteria to direct their movement in gradients of attractants
and repellents, plays an important role during the rhizosphere colonization by rhizobacteria …

Bacteria have evolved many different signal transduction systems that sense signals and
generate a variety of responses. Generally, most abundant are transcriptional regulators …

Highlights•Shared mechanisms within taxonomic groups go beyond strain-specific
effects.•Probiotic benefits may derive from mechanisms that are shared among strains.•A …

Chemoreceptors in bacteria detect a variety of signals and feed this information into
chemosensory pathways that represent a major mode of signal transduction. The five …

Chemotaxis-mediated response to root exudates, initiated by sensing-specific ligands
through methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCP), is very important for root colonization …

Summary Indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) is the main naturally occurring auxin and is produced
by organisms of all kingdoms of life. In addition to the regulation of plant growth and …

Although the influence of microbiomes on the health of plant hosts is evident, specific
mechanisms shaping the structure and dynamics of microbial communities in the …

Histamine is a key biological signaling molecule. It acts as a neurotransmitter in the central
and peripheral nervous systems and coordinates local inflammatory responses by …

It is recently appreciated that many bacterial chemoreceptors have ligand-binding domains
(LBD) of the dCACHE family, a structure with two PAS-like subdomains, one membrane …

Although it is well established that one‐and two‐component regulatory systems participate
in regulating biofilm formation, there also exists evidence suggesting that chemosensory …
