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

Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient in the soil-plant nutrient cycling. Although the
exogenous application of chemical P fertilizers can satisfy crop P requirements during …

Gut microbiota provides the host with multiple functions (eg, by contributing to food
digestion, vitamin supplementation, and defense against pathogenic strains) and interacts …

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 …

Motile bacteria use chemotaxis to migrate towards environments that are favorable for
growth and survival. The signaling pathway that mediates this behavior is largely conserved …

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 …

Highlights•The three-step root colonisation of chemotaxis, attachment and biofilm were
concluded.•The bidirectional chemical communication between microbes and root was …

The entanglement between primary metabolism regulation and stress responses is a
puzzling and fascinating theme in plant sciences. Among the major metabolites found in …

Bacteria have evolved a variety of signal transduction mechanisms that generate different
outputs in response to external stimuli. Chemosensory pathways are widespread in bacteria …
