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 …

Abstract Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is a quorum sensing signal that mediates communication
within and between many bacterial species. However, its known receptors (LuxP and LsrB …

Chemotaxis enables microorganisms to move according to chemical gradients. Although
this process requires substantial cellular energy, it also affords key physiological benefits …

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 …

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

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

Acetylcholine is a central biological signal molecule present in all kingdoms of life. In
humans, acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter of the peripheral nervous system; it …

Foliar bacterial pathogens have to penetrate the plant tissue and access the interior of the
apoplast in order to initiate the pathogenic phase. The entry process is driven by chemotaxis …
