Chemotaxis is the directed motility by means of which microbes sense chemical cues and
relocate towards more favorable environments. Methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins …

Each of the three domains of life exhibits a unique motility structure: while Bacteria use
flagella, Eukarya employ cilia, and Archaea swim using archaella. Since the new name for …

All living cells sense and respond to changes in external or internal conditions. Without that
cognitive capacity, they could not obtain nutrition essential for growth, survive inevitable …

Echoing the repeated convergent evolution of flight and vision in large eukaryotes,
propulsive swimming motility has evolved independently in microbes in each of the three …

Chemosensory system is the most complex, specialized mode of signal transduction in
bacteria and archaea. It is composed of several core and auxiliary protein components that …

Electron cryotomography (ECT) enables intact cells to be visualized in 3D in an essentially
native state to'macromolecular'(∼ 4 nm) resolution, revealing the basic architectures of …

Bacteria sense and respond to their environment through a highly conserved assembly of
transmembrane chemoreceptors (MCPs), the histidine kinase CheA, and the coupling …

Background The consequences of deforestation and agricultural treatments are complex
and affect all trophic levels. Changes of microbial community structure and composition …

The Escherichia coli chemosensory system consists of large arrays of transmembrane
chemoreceptors associated with a dedicated histidine kinase, CheA, and a linker protein …

Motile bacteria sense chemical gradients with transmembrane receptors organised in
supramolecular signalling arrays. Understanding stimulus detection and transmission at the …
