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

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 …

Rhizosphere microbes play critical roles for plant's growth and health. Among them, the
beneficial rhizobacteria have the potential to be developed as the biofertilizer or …

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 …

Pesticides are an important agricultural input, and the introduction of new active ingredients
with increased efficiencies drives their higher production and consumption worldwide …

Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domains occur in proteins from all kingdoms of life. In the bacterial
kingdom, PAS domains are commonly positioned at the amino terminus of signaling proteins …

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

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