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 …

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 …

Background Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer in the biosphere and it
comprises up to 30% of plant biomass. Although lignin is the most recalcitrant component of …

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

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a mass-produced fossil-based plastic polymer that
contributes to catastrophic levels of plastic pollution. Here we demonstrated that Tenebrio …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a cluster of highly hazardous organic
pollutants that are widespread in ecosystems and threaten human health. Composting has …

A hallmark of bacterial biofilms is a self‐produced extracellular matrix of exopolysaccharide,
extracellular DNA (eDNA) and proteins that hold bacterial cells together in the community …

Background Bacterial biofilms are surface-adherent microbial communities in which
individual cells are surrounded by a self-produced extracellular matrix of polysaccharides …
