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

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 …

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a biophysical technique for measuring the formation
and dissociation of molecular complexes and has become an invaluable tool in many …

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 …

Motile bacteria navigate toward favorable conditions and away from unfavorable
environments using chemotaxis. Mechanisms of sensing attractants are well understood; …

Bacterial taxis is one of the most investigated signal transduction mechanisms. Studies of
taxis have primarily used Escherichia coli and Salmonella as model organism. However …

Worldwide industrial development has released hazardous polycyclic aromatic compounds
into the environment. These pollutants need to be removed to improve the quality of the …

The transcriptional response to metabolites is an important mechanism by which plants
integrate information about cellular energy and nutrient status. Although some carboxylic …
