Chemoreceptor family in plant-associated bacteria responds preferentially to the plant signal molecule glycerol 3-phosphate

[Background] Chemotaxis to plant compounds is frequently the initial step for the colonization of plants by bacteria. Plant pathogens and plant-associated bacteria contain approximately twice as many chemoreceptors as the bacterial average does, indicating that chemotaxis is particularly important f...

Sumario:[Background] Chemotaxis to plant compounds is frequently the initial step for the colonization of plants by bacteria. Plant pathogens and plant-associated bacteria contain approximately twice as many chemoreceptors as the bacterial average does, indicating that chemotaxis is particularly important for bacteria–plant interactions. However, information on the corresponding chemoreceptors and their chemoeffectors is limited.
