Motile bacteria use chemotaxis to migrate towards environments that are favorable for
growth and survival. The signaling pathway that mediates this behavior is largely conserved …

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 …

Pseudomonads sense changes in the concentration of chemicals in their environment and
exhibit a behavioral response mediated by flagella or pili coupled with a chemosensory …

Bacteria have evolved a variety of signal transduction mechanisms that generate different
outputs in response to external stimuli. Chemosensory pathways are widespread in bacteria …

In contrast to Escherichia coli, a model organism for chemotaxis that has 5 chemoreceptors
and a single chemosensory pathway, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 has a much more …

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

Plant root colonization by rhizobacteria can protect plants against pathogens and promote
plant growth, and chemotaxis to root exudates was shown to be an essential prerequisite for …

The bacterial messenger cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP) binds to various
effectors, the most common of which are single-domain PilZ proteins. These c-di-GMP …

Epigenetic and transcriptional control of gene expression must be coordinated in response
to external signals to promote alternative multicellular developmental programs. The …

A single region of the Pseudomonas putida genome, designated the flagellar cluster,
includes 59 genes potentially involved in the biogenesis and function of the flagellar system …
