Biofilm-mediated bioremediation is an attractive approach for the elimination of
environmental pollutants, because of its wide adaptability, biomass, and excellent capacity …

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

Abstract Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is a quorum sensing signal that mediates communication
within and between many bacterial species. However, its known receptors (LuxP and LsrB …

Motile Escherichia coli cells track gradients of attractant and repellent chemicals in their
environment with transmembrane chemoreceptor proteins. These receptors operate in …

Chemotaxis enables microorganisms to move according to chemical gradients. Although
this process requires substantial cellular energy, it also affords key physiological benefits …

Success in nature depends upon an ability to perceive and adapt to the surrounding
environment. Bacteria are not an exception; they recognize and constantly adjust to …

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 …

Bacteria communicate by producing and sensing extracellular signal molecules called
autoinducers. Such intercellular signalling, known as quorum sensing, allows bacteria to …

Bacteria communicate and coordinate their behaviour at the intra-and interspecies levels by
producing and sensing diverse extracellular small molecules called autoinducers …
