Most swimming bacteria are capable of following gradients of nutrients, signaling molecules
and other environmental factors that affect bacterial physiology. This tactic behavior became …

Cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) signal transduction systems provide bacteria with the ability to
sense changing cell status or environmental conditions and then execute suitable …

Signal transduction systems in bacteria and archaea link environmental stimuli to specific
adaptive cellular responses. They control gene expression, motility, biofilm formation …

Bacteria have evolved multiple signal transduction systems that permit an adaptation to
changing environmental conditions. Chemoreceptor-based signaling cascades are very …

Shewanella spp. play important ecological and biogeochemical roles, due in part to their
versatile metabolism and swift integration of stimuli. While Shewanella spp. are primarily …

Chemotaxis signaling pathways enable bacteria to sense and respond to their chemical
environment and, in some species, are critical for lifestyle processes such as biofilm …

Microbes rely on signal transduction systems to sense and respond to environmental
changes for survival and reproduction. It is generally known that niche adaptation plays an …

Amino acids are important nutrients and also serve as signals for diverse signal transduction
pathways. Bacteria use chemoreceptors to recognize amino acid attractants and to navigate …

Bacterial chemosensory arrays have served as a model system for in-situ structure
determination, clearly cataloguing the improvement of cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) …

Chemotaxis is a fundamental process whereby bacteria seek out nutrient sources and avoid
harmful chemicals. For the symbiotic soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti, the chemotaxis …
